Thanks for the info. I'm not to that point - yet - but it's inevitable.
I didn't go for the 750 gb drives 'cause they were still more per mb and
I figure they will be cheaper by the time I need them. Of course by
then, there will be single 3.5" 1 tb drives. :-)
Six times $200 is getting close to what I paid for my whole box.
