One stream of XDCAM is processor intensive, so five simultaneous streams of XDCAM footage can easily bring a computer to its knees. The bottleneck here is the CPU, not the RAM or the disk speed. And when Final Cut Pro struggles to keep up, it is far more likely to crash, so this speed issue is the cause of all of your crashes.
I'd advise transcoding to ProRes, as ProRes is far easier on your processor.

Not sure this is the right place, but my SE suggested I give it a try...
I have several clients working in XDCAM [50Mbps CBR] with long (over 1 hour) multiclips with up-to 5 angles and they are crashing all over the place. I have tested their Xsan for performance extensively and believe the bottle neck is processor and RAM (even though the clients have a minimum of 12 GBs). Is there documentation that speaks to why or why not a ProRes multiclip workflow is more desirable than XDCAM? Or how one should configure a machine to better work with native XDCAM?
