What Harddrives do you use - how do you store your ripped music?

[Techybec]

So, I have 2000 original CDs to rip and just wondering;
What type of hard drive do you use ie Western Digital green, red, black?
What format do you rip to and why?
Do you have a remote setup, NAS anything like that?
Is you setup linked to multiple devices?

various harddrives. WD of various flavors, and other things. Lots of backups, stored in different locations. I rip to FLAC. Lossless, widely used, has built in CRC checker to batch check later on for any after-the-fact corruption. I have family pack, so can run dbpa on multiple machines. I don't use a NAS, but many people do.

two wd usb hdds here for ripping to flac. backup from the commandline from one disk to the other with rsync. 1500CDs will fit.

rsync -av --delete --exclude='._*' /Volumes/500gb/media/ /Volumes/500gb_clone/media
