Yes and no. You can create a 'soft' RAID with Apple's Disk Utility; it supports
RAID 1 and 2 only IIRC. For
RAID arrays can be intimidating, but they're a nice way to
aggregate storage into one pool. Depending on how you configure
them, you can create just a bigger volume, or something that has
some redundancy in it - for better data protection in case a
mechanism fails.

I'm wondering if someone has subscribed to one of the Cloud Services for
their PPC Mac's and in what capacity. What I'd like to know is if these
services can replace having multiple HDD's to transfer files such as iTunes and
iPhoto libraries, or would it be too slow. Also could I store a CCC's

Personally, I like Dropbox because of its automatic sync type

My G5 PM has 5 HDD's and I'd like to retire a lot of external
drives, they get a little hard to keep track of and never seem to
be big enough.:-)
But they're physically in your possesion and you can do

If your external drives never seem big enough, then the Cloud is
definitely not for you. Most services provide less than 100GB - and
that's for a hefty monthly fee. Most of the free options are in the
single digits GB-wise.
Not only do cloud services provide a relatively small amount of
storage

I would get a RAID docking station, 5, 1 or 2 TB HDDs and an eSATA card for
your G5. 5 or 10 TB of storage should be plenty for anything you need. Or you
can get a data center grade tape drive but that would be slow and
expensive.
