It's A Digital Disease!

I've been contemplating a NAS recently, but a question occurred to me. Why is there no such thing as a RAID 5 functionality in a single m.2 drive? Hypothetically, if I wanted an 8tb drive but wanted to dedicate one of the chips to be the parity chip, and in the event of one of this chips failing, throw in an identical m.2 in to a USB-C enclosure to rebuild off the dead drive, wouldn't that be convenient? Has this been tried before? Thanks for tolerating my naivety in advance.
