Have you seen how far prices have come down on hard drives? Right now, several online retailers are offering a 1 terabyte Seagate Barracuda hard drive for around $140 shipped.
For example:
SEAGATE Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB SATA 7200 RPM 32MB Hard Drive Bulk
Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1TB Internal SATA 3Gb/s NCQ 32MB Cache Hard Drive ST31000340AS
That’s 1,000 GB for $140. Is it time for you to upgrade?
