Dave is referring to the fact that you are storing everything on a
RAID 0 array consisting of 5 drives, increasing your chances of data
loss by 5 times by eliminating redundancy.

Considering that most drives start dying off much more frequently as
they approach and surpass 5 years in age, I would be worried, too!
