Which is what I was planning on doing, but it didn't work out that way. I installed a pair of 200Gig drives into my win2k box set up as a mirrored Raid array. (I'd recently had yet another disk crash and I didn't want to loose *anything* anymore) Well... Authoring the DVDs was going slower than the .mpg files were coming in. I filled up 200Gig rather quickly. and a friend talked me into converting my array into a "striped" RAID array. So now I had 400Gig. Which quickly filled up to 350Gig of recorded programming... Needless to say, it only took a month for one of the brand new drives to crap out :( Paul
