A 750 GB drive goes for about $120, and for backup, an external backup drive of the same size for about $160. That's all you need. RAID is a waste of money for most music libraries. For a library that's so large you can't afford to back it up to a second set of hard drives (more likely a video library or a truly huge music collection) then RAID 5, or better yet, RAID 6 makes sense. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=50299 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
