I Own 4 1TB Hard Drives perfect i hear you say.
But here is the burning question how should i use them.
So today for purely testing out i made drive bays 1 & 2 Raid Mirrored not sure if that was the best idea but thats where you guys come in to assist now you may of read in other questions i have posted in other threads this beast of a mac is purely going to be used as a Apple TV Server so my apple tvs around the house can connect and play what ever anyone desires. So what i done a great idea making the first two bays my mirrored OSX Drive with iTunes content i.e Movies currently 630Gb of Movies and still building and then to use the other two drives in bay 3 and 4 either another Raid Mirror Drive and then add more movies as i go a long ripping my dvds into m4v's. So i ask am i utilising the disk space correctly or would you suggest something better ??
