Thanks for the insight. Basically, I want a large network drive to share all of my files (music, photos, etc), but I also want a way to back that data up. LaCie also sells a USB drive with RAID built it, but it is much more expensive. I through (perhaps mistakenly) that it would be easier to setup raid myself, and just give it the two separate network drives to play with.
Like I said though, I am new to RAID in general. Perhaps there is a better way to get the network sharing and RAID? I am looking for a 1TB solution with redundant raid (so 2TB of hardware) on the order of ~$500. Any ideas are very welcome.
Thanks,
