1 TB already is here

RAID array, not a single drive - but it was the same point I made in my post - cheaper and better at this time to use an array than it is to have a single 1TB drive.

I've had a really bad experience with SATA RAID. I had a bad cable that corrupted one drive and killed the array half a dozen times while in the building stage. I finally gave up on the array. SATA RAID is no where near as reliable as SCSI where the RAID is handled by the controller rather than by the CPU.
