Be careful... A "failed disk" is only one of the ways one can lose data, and probably not even the most likely one. File system corruption, program errors, hardware errors (other than the RAID drives) and even operator errors can all cause data loss which RAID won't prevent.

Personally, of all the computer-based data I've lost in the past 20 years, the majority of it can be attributed to "human error".

One thing that improves your chances of not losing data is to pay attention to what the synchronization program is doing! About a year ago, Windows decided that about half-a-dozen of my music files were part of a corrupt section on the disk, so it daleted them to fix up the disk. The next time I ran Microsoft "Synctoy", rather than copy them from the backup, it was going to make the disks match by deleting the good copy from the backup! Needless to say I manually restored them before letting Synctoy have its way with synchronization. Since then, I've been using "Allway Sync" instead, it seems to be much more robust, but I still check the "preview" after it analyzes the changes before I turn it loose to actually do the synchronization.

I evaluated SyncToy and quit using it. There's a limit to the number of files and you get no warnings or errors when it is exceeded. AllwaySync doesn't have this limitation. SyncToy is free and AllwaySync is $20. $20 is nothing when you've lost a bunch of files because SyncToy didn't back them up.

Yep, plus a dock for the Ipod. Oh wait, Denon have already done it (with an DLNA server)...

I Robot - Alan Parsons: excellent!! Have you got the recently remastered and extended version? This comes up very shiny via SB!

[Fakarava]

First SB seems very interesting, as you can see. It stands in the kitchen (where we spend a lot of time).
Second setup will be a Transporter in the big system ; stay tuned !

My squeezebox on a nearly ancient sony TA 70, the old carbon resistors were replaced for metal film ones...
Brings down the noise levels ;D
