Need them to add to my Hotway 4 bay RAID enclosure.
Will most likely use RAID 5.
Which will give me 12TB.
I understand the RAID, but why do people need so much space?

I'd love that amount of space or more. I have a large iTunes library but I'm currently doing it over into FLAC from my CDs. I have around 300 so they average around 120MB per album at MP3 some more as they were either bought at 320kbps or I've ripped them at that. Now FLAC versions are around 400 to 600MB for music.
I also have huge DVD library I'm converting with around 500 discs taking up 4GB per disc. Then I want to start on my Blu-rays which I have around 300 discs they can take up to 30 / 50GB per disc.
So if I want to digitise my whole media library I need huge space, the I've got GBs of photos and I also dabble in music production so my samples and songs take up space. I recon I need about 30TB or more.
So i never have to worry about space.
Installed them the day they came.
Ah, didn't realize bluray took up that much space.
I'm currently doing it over into FLAC from my CDs.
Are you using exact audio copy?
I found it to be simple to use giving great results.
