The good thing about USB 2.0/Firewire drive enclosures is that you can add a drive to the system even if you're run out of room or drive channels. It doesn't add much to the cost of the drive, it's reasonably fast, and it can be hot-swapped and/or stored offsite.
Although with your needs, you may want to look into a Buffalo TeraStation or an Infrant ReadyNAS if you can afford it. --- Brian Ritchie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mark Lanctot Wrote: > > How many CDs do you have?
