Hard to complain about a TB of space from a drive with good performance... and at more then 2gb/dollar its not really that expensive considering its cutting edge size.

My issue is with backing up. EVERY hard drive fails, so how the heck are you going to keep 1TB of data safe? Personally, I hope the need for ridiculous drives like this goes down. Let some central server deal with the data management, and let me just stream what I want, when I want it.
