RAID 1 creates a mirror (exact) copy of your music on two storage drives. If either drive fails, the other continues to function as a single drive. This offers the user both reliability and storage capabilities in 500GB or 1TB configurations.

Since the Ripserver stores up to1TB you could have more than 250,000 songs! And remember you can add more storage! The Ripserver supports connectivity with additional USB drives and is DNLA Compliant enabling these products to seamlessly interact.
