Re: Storage....Raid 5...or just get more backup drives?
Noel,
a couple of thoughts:
Re: USB Storage
Using USB for permanent HDD connection is something I would shy away
from, as the USB connection is very taxing to the CPU. Especially with
the Mac Mini Firewire is a way better option
Re: RAID 5
RAID 5 is really just to safeguard you against loosing a single HDD
without interrupting your work/play. You /should/ always do backups, if
those media files are worth anything to you.
Re: In general
An idea might be one of those external RAID5 boxes with 4 drive
enclosures, like the FANTEC QB-35RFE, or something similar made by other
manufacturers.
Hope this helps.
