Best Pricepoint for 6-10 TB of Ext HD Storage Space?

Drive capacity is growing at a rate faster than most people can consume it. My 8Gb iPhone is big enough to easily handle my needs away form the 320 Gb drive in my laptop…what happens when the cheap iPhone has 320 Gb and a 5 MB/s pipe to the internet?

Sorry for the tangent, but I got a new dell with 160 Gigs… my old laptop had 30… wow, I’ll never use that much! That’ll last me forever!

A month into it and I had 70 or so filled… 2 months and I was up to 130.

(and no… it wasn’t porn)

I had to get an external TB drive and burn LOTS of data to dvd to keep THAT from getting filled up. Way different mindset than 2004 when I had my laptop stolen.

For a little less money (and a little less storage, but future upgradability) you could get a drobo and 4 1 Tb drives:
Home - Drobo

But you’d only get 2.7 Tb of available storage space.

You’re swinging for the fences with that 6 Tb requirement. You can do it, but it’ll cost…and 4 years from now, you’ll buy a 6 Tb drive for $120 at Best Buy.

That’s a nifty and convenient piece of hardware!

puts it on wish list
