  There isn't an optimum HDD block size for Nx since it depends on the load of the system. 
  A system with 4 HD streams has different requirements than 100 4K streams. 

  Recording is in a specific pattern - Continuous writing and randomly reading. The larger block size could be, the less block operations would be needed. 

  I would do a calculation of the total bandwidth that is being sent to the storage and with these numbers, ask the supplier of the storage / raid solution for some recommendations.
