You're talking about register width, right?

Yeah, 5TB for every register of course.

But something could easily go wrong with such large registers & access would be slow. Maybe we should have RAID 1 for registers?

I only ever opt for RAID 5. It also help to use error correcting hardware.

For such large registers, I think error correction for the error correction might be useful.
