I've got to admit when I first saw this I was thinking raid stripping for faster access times. Had me wondering until i read the post...

Honestly, I think you're much more likely to have your empeg stolen or drop it than have the hard drives just fail... Either way, raid just isn't going to be enough to gaurantee that you don't loose your music.

Go buy a hard drive, copy all your music to it, and stick it in a cool, dry place. Far more reliable than RAID.
