I don't know anything about specialist video hardware, but isn't the real problem that your initial write from the camera is to storage with no redundancy?
Surely someone has packaged 2 drives and hardware mirroring into one rugged box?
SSD vs HDD is a different question. I think https://hblok.net/blog/storage/ is the nearest there is to a proper price comparison, in USD/MB, log scale:

Just seen those R-series ones on Amazon for 250ish including VAT seemingly which almost sells it to me. What I like in particular is the fact they're not supposed to overheat so maintain speeds even after long transfers. Generally we'll spend a scary hour at the end of shoot days (or split it into a few sessions depending on time) to offload cards. The spinning ev drives get noticeably hot and transfers do slow down:

Think they'd be legit?
