Precisely. I already had a 2.8TB RAID 5 array in a dual Xeon server,
and frankly neither wanted nor needed more computing capacity (or
accompanying administrative hassle). I also highly value a single
filespace (yes, yes, I know you can do much of the same thing with
multiple mounts in a single directory, but it's just not quite the
same), which I gather isn't so much a concern for you. The 2.0TB comes
from four 500GB drives ($1400), which are pretty pricey on a $/GB
basis right now.
