I don't want to sound all flippant, but why not just buy a 500gb HDD and use that as your source? True, if you have a bunch of spare 250s around, it may be crazy to go and buy yet another drive. But you could always use 2 of your 250s as a back-up for the new 500. Like most of us here, I guess, I live in fear of losing all my hard-ripped flacs (and I did have a total failure of my main music HDD drive a few months back), so I have several copies of the entire collection: the main Squeezecenter external HDD, a complete back up of that on another HDD (using running software to keep it current), and a complete off-site back up on yet another HDD, updated every month or so..... I suggest this because my own 250 external music HDD is nearly full - but a quality 500 HDD is only going to run me 150 US just now, and my various 250s will make perfectly good back-up locations (splitting the new 500 to back up, say, all classical to one 250, and all modern to another...)
