Well with the 700gb been in service for a few months 1Tb just had to come, but I've often asked myself "do I really want a singe hdd holding THAT much info, what if it fails"

With boards supporting raid 5 becomming more common and considering that 250gb hdd's are pretty much the cheapest R/Mb I'd rather get me 6 250's and make a 1tb with some failsafe option.

Actually they've been in SA about 5 weeks cos i quoted mid-June for a client on 5x 1TB drives for his IP Camera Surveillance Server 8O
I think our company is charging about R4200 per drive :roll:

Haven't heard from the client since i sent him the quote lol - scared him off. R21k just for drives.

Is R1000 Cheap for a 500GIG HDD IDE
"A person starts to live when he can live outside himself."

I am the flesh and bone of my own sword.
Steel flows through my body, and fire is what courses through my blood.
I have created over a thousand blades.
Unknown to death.
Nor known to life.
Many times I have withstood enormous pain to create thousands of weapons.
And yet, those hands that have braved so much will never hold anything.
So as I pray now, I call forth "Unlimited Blade Works
