Guess you need to see where I work and how HUGE the Tape back up robot is... damn thing is 50ft long for the first robot and the second robot is now being built and it will be just as long!! 400GB a server(average) x 450 servers =180,000(approx) + 2 mainframes yea that disk would save TONS of money in tapes and robots.

Heh, I wouldn't want such a huge drive any time in the near future... ideally, faster drives are made available at about the same time I run out of storage space.
