actual price cost is pretty much the same as stacking smaller drives. I got a box of 250gb drives coming at $240 each.... just under a buck a gig. But when one of those fail, I'm not out $1200 in one shot.

Plus if you raid those drives, you can store a lot and only replace a chunk as needed (like you said, it is a matter of when a drive will fail), and you still have all your data in tact.
