HI all<br><br>Going through some growing pains with my mytvTV setup, started with a 250g hdd (os, everything else), added a 500g hdd (backed up movies, music, tv to keep). Now I'm building up the parts to make up a NAS box based on the Intel D945GCLF Atom motherboard $125 cpu onboard. Going to put the OS on an 8g flash card and move the 500g hdd into it and add a 750g hdd at the same time. Split the drives up so 250g on each to become RAID1 (250g mirrored storage) and the remainder RAID0 so I end up with more initial storage space than before also means I can add more drives later and expand the RAID0 array.<br>
<br>With all the music on this machine too I'll put squeezecentre on it for my squeezebox, one less service running on the myth backend. My older celeron 2.8 is having a hard time with the latest myth and yadf2x deinterlacing.<br>

But your points are taken, RAID is probably not the answer, I am still looking for the best solution.<br><br>Cheers,<br><font color="#888888">B M <br>
