I'm sure "slow" is a relative term, compared to backing up TBs of data and

You don't backup your RAID arrays? Yikes! For certain data this would be
fine (data that you can recreate easily) but it sounds like this isn't the
case for you otherwise you'd just wipe the array and recreate the data. There
are other modes of failure than just the drives themselves (file system
corruption for instance) so it is wise to do backups, even on "redundant"
systems.
Good luck,

I agree here, RAID is no substitute for backups.
