Ok, guys, enough now about storage! Back to the Pi.............
If there are any further posts about storage safety (as it is non-specific to the Pi), they will simply be moved to a separate thread, with that as its title.

SSD I would agree with - HDD ... absolutely not. I have lost a fair few even in recent 'improved' times
All not a problem if you have enough (and diverse) backup and do it regularly BUT the bigger your archive the pricier and more time consuming the backup. I stopped using gizmos such as Time Machine yonks ago since a virus wiped both disks out - even Apple gets viruses...

My slice of PI:
Snapped this up on fleabay several weeks ago for <£50 including 16gb SD card and case, but not a psu. I'm using coax out into one of Stan's DACs, the PI is connected via ethernet cable. Audio Files are stored on network and/or USB memory stick inserted in PI.
As a Linux tinkerer, I went through Volumio, Rune. Squeezeplug, picoplayer and finally "Squeeze on Arch". The first two are MDP based, while the others are LMS based. I settled on "Squeeze on Arch" for now, sq is great for the money.
