"And, having just had my 6-month old 400GB backup disk die on me "


Wow, after all the work of ripping CD's to a hard disk, you trust the
hard disk?  I've learned this lesson a few times.  Either install a
Raid Array (mirrored hard drives), or maybe better, have a second drive
where you copy all the ripped files. This 2nd drive can be stored in
another location to insure against a common mode failure (power spike,
fire, physical computer theft for eg) which causes loss of both your
Raid drives.  A 400GB drive can be bought for about 135$ I believe. 
Cheap insurance.
