I agree with you badmammajamma. Mirra is a good idea if you know what you are doing, but the price is a little high. I have heard there are actual RAID solutions for SOHO and small businesses where you can buy your own HDDs, therefore being able to upgrade to whatever storage capacity you desire. I found a company that sells such a product, but it is a little pricey. Do you think sometime like this might be popular within the storage market?

Looks interesting, but dont know if it is easy to use. I am not sure if the storage industry should go in this direction, but it could have a good future because of more and more data and information available. Should be interesting to see if something like this (Personal RAID) might succeed in the current storage market industry. Definitly expensive though, like you said before, but potentially useful if it is easy to use.
