If you want one ready to use, but settle for only 200GB, then try the Yamaha CDR-HD1500. The recording is uncompressed.
Building a Music Server.
I am interested in building a music server. Yes building the server itself from scratch. I sepent some time on the net today looking at parts. For the most part this is a fairly simple project untill you look at the number of mother boards out there.
It is my understanding that ATA drives are less succeptable to RFI than a standard IDE drives. Which would make them the preferable choice.
I am looking at starting with 1TB of storage space. I should probably raid the drives.
Which would require either a software raid or a hardware raid. Which brings up the question or raid cards and ATA drives and the servers ability to handle 8 250GB hard drives. I know I could go with 500GB HD but cost is a factor.
So my question is where do I begin. What motherboard and processor. Qty of RAM. Drives and yes of course software.
Thank you,
Michael
