In Reply to: Advice building a lean mean ripping machine? posted by MoodyDragon on November 5, 2006 at 12:14:28:
I don't know about what programs you can use - but I will say that if I were going to rip over 2 terrabytes of wave files, the first thing uppermost in _my_ mind would be how to store it and back it up -I have somewhat of a lack of confidence in todays consumer level drives_grin_ as do some other folks _bigger grin_
Probably the best solution for you would be
Infrant ReadyNAS RNV1-S2-0000 or similar with 4 500 gig enterprise class drives and run it on raid 5, with a spare drive , you can hot swap the spare in if one drive fails. even so I don't think you'll get the whole collection on there - Then take the drives with you in a carry-on and put the case in other luggage.
I didn't read the specs fully, so do your own due diligence on an NAS.
Are you sure you have enough time to do this? gonna take quite a while. If you have any other packing and moving prep to do, it could be a real problem.
I'm watching with enthusiasm to see if anybody posts a software solution for you
