I thought the same thing you did. I was getting all excited over the possibility of having a RAID that big, but then I relized how much it would cost, and descided it wasn't worth it. Since I'm upgrading to gigabit for the faster file transfers, I'm thinking I should build a RAID array for my file server. 4 160 GB HDD in RAID 5 seems sufficient (spelling?).
