There may be a performance penalty using raid4, because it uses one 
parity disk. Although that system looks like it can be useful for some 
purposes it looks less ideal for home use. Also I don't see how it would 
allow you to install your own OS.

For read-mostly storage, there's no penalty as long as there's no disk
failure.  The parity drive wouldn't even spin up for reads.
