Harddrive for Squeezebox died!!

I knew this would happen!!! Crap!! I was backing up the harddrive (seemed to be going bad for awhile) and it crapped out part way through. I have a second and third copy on various computers but none are as up to date as the one I have connected to the computer running the Squeezebox software. When I open a web url for the squeezebox I can see all my albums listed. What I need to figure out is if there is a text file located somewhere in the squeezebox/logitech/slimdevices directory somewhere that I could then just print out and check against my partial list. Either way I look at it, I am going to be reripping some cd's!! Shit on a stick!! To that end, is a solid state drive much better then the standard as far as ttf is concerned??
Thanks

I'm pretty sure the sb server stores its info in a database of some sort - that is, not just a text file you can inspect. I don't know of a way to get a listing of all albums/files/etc, though I suppose it's possible there's a plugin somewhere for that...
 
Solid state drives are no more reliable. Use RAID. There are plenty of external drives with two mirrored discs.

So from what I have read I can't do this with two external hard drvies hooked up to my laptop separately with USB? I need an enclosure that holds two hard drives and supports RAID? I take it Raid 0 and Raid 1 are the simplest forms of Raid? I guess I would want RAID 1 right? I am trying to do this on the cheap.

Would this do the trick??

There are a ton of simple two drove enclosures which support RAID 1, which you definitely want to have. RAID 0 isn't redundant and offers no protection.
