RAID is no substitute for backup. And, for a home file server is probably unnecessary. Only benefit would be RAID 0 where you can create a large volume to store your FLACs. But then how do you back-up that huge thing? Presently, my plan is to either: - get 2 large HDs: #1 in server and #2 in a portable USB HD enclosure that I will use for backup. - get 3 large HDs: #1 in server for production, #2 in server for nighly backup (Linux cron), and #3 for monthly swap-out with #2 (Linux mount/unmount) that I can store in my desk at work.
