Nah! I'd use it. I'd store all my music in RAW format since space is no longer an issue! Right now I use a modified OGG engine (GT3B2) that is near lossless which works for now (MP3 sucks - can't stand the artifacts it places in music). Actually - I'd probably use exclusesevely FLAC as an engine then because it 'is' lossless - not a single bit of audio data is lost in the compression.

I'd also start storing movies in RAW format since compression wouldn't be an issue. 80 GB an hour is about what an uncompressed movie works out to last time I did it. I actually ended up using huffyuv lossless compressor becasue it was just getting too big. This cut it down by about half.
