Matt, FYI, for about 700.00 over your storage budget, we could do a 8TB RAID 5 EB800MS, with an Areca 1223X card, complete. RAID 5 speeds are 900MB/s read/write. You'd have a little less than 7TB usable after the RAID 5. http://www.proavio.com/

The Proavio should be able to, but I'm with Alex, not the RocketRaid card. With the Areca mentioned you should be able to do a single stream uncompressed 2k. With the Areca card, you should be able to get 700-800 MB/s, so just look at your data rate

THe Hitachi drives are the Enterprise version. The Areca 1882 works flawlessly and it's fast. It's coupled with the ATTO NS14 10 GE card on the server and each client has a NS11 10 GE card giving about 400 +/- MB second.
