Do you have inside information to when drives >2TB will
be affordable to the average person or even available?
That argument is just nuts. Drive prices will have to
drop to 10% of what they are now per GB, and as far as
I know there aren't any commonly available .5TB drives
yet. It will likely be a couple years before a 2TB
drive will be commonly available.
