Re: OT Raid Setup for MP3 Server

Thanks for this Patrick.  It's something I hadn't considered. 
Have 
you heard this effect?   I figured that with a fast LAN,
broadcast 
streaming and similar client PCs, such things would be negligible.  I
note that Imerge seem to be doing the same thing (at least using 
Ethernet to distribute music digitally to clients) so thought that at 
least someone who might know what they're doing has been looking at 
this.
