Can confirm. When I can't work off my internal MacBook storage, my working drive is a RAID0 NVME array over Thunderbolt. Jobs setup in Carbon Copy Cloner make incremental hourly backups to a NAS on site as well as a locally-attached RAID6 HDD array.

If the stripe dies, worst case is I lose up to one hour of work, plus let's say another hour copying assets back to a rebuilt stripe.

There are so many MASSIVE files created in intermediate stages of audiovisual [post] production.
