stay away from large drives and get redundant drives. You really do not want to every have to rip that much audio again, just becaue a drive took a dump on you. I have about 20 dead hard drives on my shelf here, relics of the last 5-8 years of servers and workstations dying on me. All hard drives die - you don't want your data to go with them.Get a RAID 5 setup, a few drives, one for redundancy. Drives are cheap, SATA raid cards are rather affordable, speed isn't even the issue here. Starting with 3 drives, you can have a raid setup, and the coolest thing is that with the proper hardware, they can grow as needed, without the need to reformat anything.
At least buy two big drives and mirror them. Think of the hours it will cost you if your lonely huge drive fails.
