I know if I ever get some money, it's going into RAID 5 storage so I can have a large 5 TB array for all my DVDs and other videos. I hate that I used to get 3 different folders in MythVideo for my 3 shares. Right now I have an LVM'd 1TB array ( I know VERY dangerous, but it's not like I can't get all that data back). All my vids are on that array and I'm quite happy.
