I’ve been seriously considering getting a pair of Seagate’s 1.5TB drives in order to make a secondary backup of my file server (which is what I back up every other computer to), and I think waiting has paid off. According to Engadget, Western Digital has just begun selling a 2TB hard drive using their “green power” line, the same line that I bought six 1 TB hard drives from. The market price should be around $250, which amounts to 12.5 cents per GB. While this is higher than purchasing two 1 TB hard drives, it does not include the extra SATA ports or electricity needed. This would be an easy way for me to upgrade my storage capacity to 4TB, from the 3TB I have now. As a note, I have used 2 TB of space, with about 8XX GB free.
