Raid solution for 2k dpx realtime

Hi,

we are working with 2k, 10 bit, dpx files, for color grading (single stream)
We will be working on Resolve on Mac (yep, we have a tight budget 😉 )
I have seen 2k dpx realtime with Resolve on Mac at IBC using around 8 nodes of color correction and it was still realtime, so it should be possible…

we would look for a raid solution to play these files in realtime (about 350 Mbits/s garanteed as overhead).

I found various solution per fibre channel in a price range of about 8 000 –
10 000 € total with a controller.
Does anybody know a budget solution, maybe via eSata?

I was talking to someone at IBC who was telling me about two eSata enclosures each equipped with 8 drives as a raid 5 and then those two raid5 are striped as a raid 0. Does anyone have experience with that kind of system?

I would be glad if anybody could share their thoughts or give me some recommendations.

thanks
