You need about 400 MB per CD if you use Apple lossless. So if you have say 1000 CD's then you require approx 400 GB drive....now to be safe you should have two drives and have them mirrored in case a drive dies...as half life of disk drives seems to be around 3 years....
It can be done...it is not that easy though...unless you go for lossy compression algorithms.
Note that La Cie make 500 GB drives available at Apple store (but make sure you read the reviews....a lot of complaints about early deaths....)
I prefer to use CD changers....but I will switch to hard drives eventually as they get more reliable and have even higher storage.
