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.

that's just part of the issue. not to sound TOO paranoid/conspiracy

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.

Exactly. If John has 10TB internal, the next step is either a series
of external drives or to use another Mac as a server.
My main Mac is a pro, but I have a number off MDD G4s, one of whom has
no monitor, I view it over network, and use it to host more drive
space. 2 SATA cards and it's good for 8
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 spa

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
whatever you need to maintain them without depending on the largess

Personally, I like Dropbox because of its automatic sync type

I'm wondering if someone has subscribed to one of the "Cloud Services" for

iPhoto libraries, or would it be too slow. Also could I store a CCC's
