Too slow for what? Just mythtv? What are you planning on doing? On my
system, even with a single SATA drive I've been able to simultaneously
record 3 SD programs + 2 HD programs, run a single commflag, and
playback a single HD program. Never tried pushing it any harder than
that.  I don't think RAID5 would be much of a problem unless you are
going to be pushing the system VERY hard.
