Actually, 6 TB drives are available at very reasonable prices.  I have
a WD60EFRX (Western Digital 6 TB Red) in my system now.  The
equivalent Green drive is also available and a bit cheaper, but
actually draws more power than the Red model.  I would love to have
the Hitachi 6 TB helium filled drives, but they are much too expensive
and I do not really need that level of performance except maybe on my
system drive (currently a 3 TB Hitachi HDS723030ALA640).
