Yeah, I have usb3.0 box in here that takes 4 HDs, so in theory I
could go upto 12 TB in that, but only have 4TB in there now, each
drive with its own drive letter. But with current prices, 8TB max
seems reasonable now. But what if I want to go to 50TB?
then you spending way too much of your life in front of your TV :)
I use external drives as well, and I ventilate them with fans. The
nice thing about them is you turn them on when you need them, and
when you don't they aren't using any power, which is very expensive
where I am. For back up it works great.

Windows. Don't need redundancy on the blu-ray folders, I own all the

crashed out part). I'm going to media browser on top of WMC to get to the
files. I'd like to be able to stream as much as my home network will
allow...is disk space/speed a limitation there? I could see myself
streaming to two locations at most, presently.

How big do you want the RAID to get (# of drives that is)? I presume
enough performance to stream one bluray... or will you be doing multiple?

I don't think my mobo has sata connectors for more than 4-6. I assume I
need a PCI-E card of some sort. What's best? I don't intend to build it
out
at once...just over time.
