I currently have a 300GB HD in a FW enclosure that has two partitions. The first is just as an archive. I keep a lot of non-essential files on there. It was used more when I had smaller HDs in my main system.
The second partition is for weekly and nightly backups of my Users folder and of all of my working files.
Whatever I setup would be used to replace the above. Since I do keep some files on it that aren't backed up elsewhere, I'm thinking a RAID1 would be a good idea.
Something networked appeals to me because I am slowly taking over part of the garage for office expansion. This area is used for working on machines or other stuff that needs space but I don't want it to eat up space in my office.
