The faster ripping is a good point as I think I will be re-ripping my music once I get into my new house. One library in FLAC but ripped with EAC and one with i-tunes for my wife and son's i-pods. Storage is cheap and so is my time.

On a side note one of my Hhard drives died in my NAS last week and I simply swapped in the new and it rebuilt from the second(I was ruinning the NAS mirrored), no hiccups at all, technology is great when it works ;\)
