I have 7.5 TB on tap, using Greyhole.  It runs pretty well on modest
hardware (host system is an AMD A4-3300 with 4 GB of RAM), allows use of
different disk sizes (currently two 3 TB drives and one 1.5 TB drive), and
allows selective redundancy by optionally keeping multiple copies of a file
on different drives.  I use no redundancy for video and music as those files
get backed up to BD-R stored offsite.  Documents, photos, and the Subversion
repository get two copies of everything stored as their contents would be
harder to replace if lost (photos get backed up to BD-R, while documents are
backed up at Tarsnap).  If a drive craps out (it's already happened more
than once), files that were stored with redundancy are copied again to one
of the good drives.
