1) How fast does it need to be to stream music (or even video). 2) He's planning on accessing it through USB So, sure, if you were building a general purpose file server where much random access is important, I can see that argument, but for this specific case (music, big, cheap, portable), a single big drive (I'ld get a second and rsync it occasionally) is easily more convenient. -- Aidan Van Dyk Create like a god, ai...@highrise.ca command like a king, http://www.highrise.ca/ work like a slave. _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
