I, too got tired of backing up to external drives and wasn't happy about having to keep burning plastic. It wasn't the music so much as a video archiving project that drove me over the edge - 12GB per hour of video in raw format. About 3 years ago, I sucked it up and built a dedicated server with hardware RAID. It has been running 6 * 250GB drives in RAID5 with hotspare for 1TB of storage. A year later, I built a second server with 1.75TB in RAID5 using 8 * 250GB drives. Both servers have been runnign 24x7 in my basement since they were built. I use RDP to control and admin each of them. Although this gave me some improvement over losing a single hard drive, all my digital financial records, pictures, and source videos were loaded on a 300GB USB drive I sent to my parents house in another state. I update that drive about once a quarter with them.
