    I don't know about that. We have about 20tb of spinning data.
    With some of the new verification techniques, we expect to increase our
    storage requirements as much as 100x (yes, that's one hundred times).
    At 300mb/disk, that's a lot of disks at RAID-5. Higher capacity drives mean
    less space, lower power consumption and reduced HVAC requirements.
    Will the cost be low to start out? Doubt it. It'll likely be something more
    in the commercial and so called "power user" spaces for some time.
    Then again, the time it took to see 250gb drives become common place.

    I'm talking about me having over a TB of data at home already, I'm not talking about in a commercial setting.

    Hey guys, do you want to keep discussing hard drive stuff? If so, let me know where you want me to move this thread and what you'd like me to call it - cuz it certainly isn't a "DEAL" anymore...
