> Yes, the never ending problem :)

One could almost call it a neverending torrent of data :D

(although, the largest amount of our usage is actually ripping our various
DVD boxsets so we can watch them easily on demand)

even better.=20=20

True -=20

I currently have an old =A330 "nokia" style no-name case, which
has 6 inter=
nal
and 2 front 3.5" drive bays (complete with fan mounting slots directly
in
front of the drives)

I have a reocketraid 404 card with Eight IDE channels, so I'm hoping to add
additional disks for a second raid array to increase the space rather than
replace the 200s.

The problem with an upgrade is finding the space to store over half a
Terabyte of data whilst you install the new disks!

Ian.
