Assuming you only want to re-rip 500 CDs once, it would be good insurance to get 2 drives and use one to back up the other. Hard disk crashes are still a realistic possibility. I have 2 x 320 Gb disks connected to a desktop (storing backup copies of photos from the desktop drive as well as the music) plus a 250Gb disk (USB powered) to connect to my laptop. FLAC versions of all my CDs are stored on all 3 disks (a bit excessive, but as I'm not short of space.......).
