But I wouldn't go so far as saying "don't use RAID." It has its uses. RAID's biggest advantage for music libraries is that if one of the drives dies you can switch to the other and not have any downtime. That said, I personally don't understand the urge for zero downtime for one's own music collection. I mean, I love my music, but none of it is so critical that I can't live with it for 24 hours until I can get the off-site backup, get another drive, and restore the music library. Besides, there's always SqueezeNetwork, Pandora, Napster, etc. until my library is back in action.
