Project: Server Reconfiguration + iTunes Server

I recently realized that I could make my home network more efficient by adding my one terabyte hard disk drive to my server.  Currently, my server has an external 700GB hard disk drive that is being used to store various media files and server them throughout my house. That drive is actually two hard disks connected in a RAID 5 configuration.  However, I have also have a one terabyte hard disk drive that I use externally on my desktop. By adding that to the dual-bay external enclosure I use on my server, I could gain a lot more storage space there.

In addition the adding extra space to my server, I am also going to add iTunes serving functionality to it. Doing so will actually be pretty simple. After I install iTunes on my server, all I have to do is enable library sharing from the iTunes preferences window. It’s really that simple. Once my music library is shared on my server, it will appear as such when I open iTunes on any of the computer on my home network.
