I considered this for quite some time before putting together my 2.2TB Myth box two years ago, and I went against the grain and went with JBOD. What takes up the most disk space on my server is images of my DVD's, for which I have the originals, so I don't need the redundancy. For the recorded broadcasts, if I lose them, I lose them. I have a small RAID-0 pair of disks for my music and such that I don't want to lose. I could have shrunk my disk space and went for a RAID cluster (lord knows I have the disks), but the redundancy was overkill for the application.
