Re: [slim] Napster not a bargain in the UK?

Couldn't find anything on the Napster website relating to SB. But I would assume it's the same as the Sonos offer. £9.95 a month. http://www.napster.co.uk/partner/sonos-offer/ This service has completely changed the way I use my SB's. Just incredible to have access to so much music.

Re: [slim] Which raid?

I'm in agreement that RAID 1 or 5 is not the right answer. These technologies are intended to provide high availability of data. Relying on them for protection against data loss and as a substitute for backups is a mistake. I maintain two backups. The first is the weekly backup to an external

I don't think I read the type of OS you're using. But under linux or NTFS for windows you'd have no problem mounting drives to directories, achieving the effect of a huge file hierarchy without taking the risk of building a huge block device (as raid, LVM ... do.) Each drive can break
