Re: Ideal external hard drive for music storage?

I just took a peek at the G-Tech drives. One says its RAID 3, another says its RAID 0, and I didn't see anything obvious about RAID 1, 5, 10, or 0+1 support. Both RAID 0 and 3 imply faster access times, but no redundancy. If you invest the time to rip your CD collection, I'd recommend something with redundancy like RAID 5. I've had a large number of "consumer" external drives go bad on me--I'm now using 1TB buffalo terastations configured in RAID 5 for music/media.
