Media Server

How many of you back-up your media on a file server and stream to HTPC's throughout your homes? I'm planning on doing so, but in order to back-up blu-rays I'll be needing something that's expandable up to probably 20 TB's by the time I get my collection completely finished.

Looks like you're gonna need a Thumper. How does 48TB in 4U grab ya?! :-)

i do but i do not back up blu rays! as you have pointed out, space is the main issue for me, but i do have a collection of 100 or so dvds backed up on my computer (yes i own them all) works like a dream and stops my youngest son from using them as frisbees!
