Thanks for your replies. I'm wanting a 2TB RAID because I have around 5K CDs and want to back them up. I realize 2TB isn't enough space for storing 5K CDs in RAID fashion, but it'll take me a while just to fill that up, and by that time I can add more memory.
I was thinking of changing out the system drive, but now you've got me thinking of leaving it. Am I risking a mess if I remove it and replace it with the larger hard drives? I'm not really an IT guy, so the less hassle the better. I do understand that my scenario is a bit of overkill, but I thought it would be financially more feasible to pay $700-800 for two 1TB internal drives and put them on a device I already own than to buy a $500 MacMini and a $1500 NAS RAID device. Aubuti - I didn't quite follow what you meant by this: Note that using Apple lossless means that you'll be transcoding on the server (not a problem with that much horsepower) and that you won't be able to use FF/Rew. Does this mean that if I rip my CDs on the G5 (or any computer) using iTunes that I can't use FF/Rew on Transporter, and to have this functionality the music files need to be stored on a storage device separate from the computer's internal hard drive.
