If you are an IT pro then you should know that connecting your RAID a different controller, can break everything completely.
I would make new RAID and copy everything.
So do you dare doing it without backing up your data on additional storage device, like other disks or tape?
Since a blu-ray you burn at home is burned and not stamped... I would not consider it very stable at all. Burnable optical media contains dye.. and the dye will degrade over time. Wikipedia have a decent article about this... check it out.
And you need way too many blu-ray disks to just back up...

They should have the technology to produce them. Maybe to make more money of the existing series..
Putting TLER to off in a RAID configuration will only result in posible corruption. This is the opposite of the recommended setting. Are you sure you want to do this?
Even in desktop configuration it wont hurt to enable to the setting.
It seem rather lucky that it actually worked. Because just slight difference in storage format, or desiding to connect the disk to a different raid controller can break everything. But hopefully you learned a lesson about proprietary hardware raid.
There isnt any best way to make sure.. there is ONLY ONE WAY to make sure and if you used hardware based raid. You have to match the exact same setup as used before if you want to save any data.
Reed Solomon is an erasure code, also known as forward error correction. And erasure codes is an error correcting code. So not tell me what I mean...
The Parchive erasure code might not be the most effective.
In order to be able to be 100% sure of you can recover the data you need to used a...
Actutally the data on a DVD is protected against errors by using erasure codes.
On a CD and DVD Reed Solomon codes are used. You can read about it on wikipedia.
