[QUOTE="louishen, post: 665671, member: 40142"] I think you are talking about RAID, on that kind of drive you will have 2 Terabytes of storage across, say 4-8 drives. You will only be able to use 1 Terabyte because all your data is being duplicated across the drives. You can buy a raid system, or spend the money on 2 1 terabyte drives and set up a RAID system of 1 T using apples disk utility. That way - if one drive fails, you have a complete back-up [/QUOTE]
