People who leave Azureus running all day long could benefit from this 2TB RAID array from Other World Computing, said to be the Largest Ever. It’s got a regal-sounding name, the OWC Mercury Elite-AL Pro Dual 2.0TB RAID solution, as well as a price that only kings you afford—laughing out loud!—$1,099. The 7200RPM drives connect to your rig using either a FireWire 800, 400 or USB 2.0. If a G is too blue for your blood, OWC has smaller drive arrays available, ranging from 320GB to 1.5TB.
Now that I’ve discovered HD rips, well, the more space the better.

Nope, not even close to enough.
In total, my collection is over 5 PB (petabytes). Forced to delete most stuff…
1K$US = 2TB
I think that is a great deal… comes to about the same price if you build your own system (depending on the drive quality).

you dont have 5PB, because that would be 5120 (1024*5) of the latest 1TB hard drives (they just came out). thats total BS. A one TB hard drive is 600$, so 5120*$600= a total of $3,072,000 dollars and not only would the hard drives alone be over 3 million dollars, but what exactly do you plug all those 5120 hard drives into? most racks cost about 1000$ and have 12 spaces. so youd need about 450 server racks. so thats another 450,000$. and thats without taxes, shipping, power and space that must take… AFTER the inital 3.4million dollars. You keep telling yourself you have 5 petabytes of stuff jackass.
