*ponder* ... you know, that's not actually that cheap.
I have a 250GB disk that I bought for about $230 almost a year ago, and a case I chucked it in that cost me $50. I have a second 250GB disk sitting idle because I need a) to take it into the office and fsck it, as I can't figure out how to do that to an ext2 disk under OSX, and b) get a case for it, or else keep swapping back and forth. But the point is that I have half that storage for approx half that price, albeit taking theoretically twice the USB ports.
A terabyte's just not as big as it used to be. I'd fill it in a matter of days with DVD rips for vidding.
