To answer your question currently I have
Music ~1TB
Video ~2TB
Programs ~3TB
Images since 2000 ~2TB
Scanned images prior to 2000 (work incomplete)  estimated ~4TB

So 16TB is OK.

Using individual disks (USB/Firewire attached) is not an option as I dont want the spaghetti this generates and also it means I need to double up to replicate each disk.

I dont like using disks larger than 2TB as they are bigger risk (1TB disks are easy to handle but getting less easy to source).
 




So what about something like this - configured as separate drives.
Wouldn't the drives then be separate without the spaghetti?
