Building an array of five 1TB QLC drives seems like a really odd decision, like somebody started with the constraint that they must use exactly five SSDs and then tried to optimize for cost.

The 4TB models obviously will hold up better under 170+ TB of writes than the 1TB drives will, and it wouldn't be surprising to see less write amplification on the larger drives.
