In evaluting what I think is a Good Idea for storage solutions for
MythTV, remember that my sister is an Archiver, not a Catch and Release
viewer. So we're a bit more inclined to SCSI, or RAID, or both (not
that we actually have either implemented at the moment).
But Cost/Benefit Analyses include benefit, as well we costs.
