Totally agree. The amount of money buying a couple of drives to give the 600GB under RAID 5 would be far far exceeded by the amount of time you're spend re-encoding on a minimum wage job: you'll save time, and RAID 0 is, as parent said, tempting fate.
A second point, do you have permission to broadcast the music you'll be playing? Its fine to do a bit of filesharing if you want, because that's your liability, but will your station e broadcasting the latest Britney over the FM spectrum not require royalties and/or be protected by other legal bindings which YOUR SCHOOL would be liable for?
it would certainly be great to let these other projects know about the vulnerability and make the update available to them
If its a 0day vulnerability letting other distros know in advance would be putting the vulnerability into the wild for any script kiddie to play with.
waiting to update their own product is bad for their own users
Exactly. If someone forks or uses open source code its a lot to ask the people who made the original trunk to take care for all. Share knowledge yes, but to do the job of someone else who took it apon themselves to branch... no.

If you want to haul 300 metric tons of rock from point A to point B, you need a dump truck.
I do believe you would need more than one. Perhaps a convoy of them.
