Micronet had some decent 68K RAID solutions, the fastest being for the 950 series and used the PDS slot. Anything using the Nubus slot is limited to total Nubus bandwidth limitations so you will be lucky to get much over 10MB/sec sustained even with new drives.
Charismac had a software RAID package called Anubus for 68k and ppc. The 840AV was great for its day but even then you needed 3rd party hardware to do any decent video capture (Videovision, Rasterops Moviepak, Supermac Spigot proAv, Media 100, etc).
