Wouldn't you be better off with just one drive and another drive as a backup? Cheaper too. For now, you have 4 drives, but in what you describe, no backup. With multiple drives, your risk of a drive failure is greater, isn't it? -- Goodsounds ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Goodsounds's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14201 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54110 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
