When a frame gets dropped, its because it didn't get written to the 
drive. No amount of RAID will fix that. Dropped frames are not because 
the drive "forgets" the frame after its written, but because the frame 
doesn't make it to the drive. Most RAID configurations are slower - 
sacrificing speed for data security. Not what you want for DV.
