Nice!

Is this where you check?

Let me know if you see any 2TB drives pop up. I need more space, and I either have to get 2 more 4-in-3 drive cages and a PCI 2-port Sata card so I can fit 2 additional HDDs in my case or just start swapping drives out w/ higher capacity models. I'm leaning toward the latter right now.

I need 1 7200rpm 2TB drive for parity (preferably Samsung or WD Black), and several (well...1 for now) 2TB 'green' drives for storage.

Ya I check that link when I wake up and twice or so throughout the day during breaks in work. I'll send you a pm if a 2TB drive shows up, however it most likely wont stay in stock for long.

I have a lot of "media" - photos, FLAC rips of all my CDs, TV shows...

1080p movies still take up 8-15GB even when compressed. For a serious movie collector that's about 1,000-2,000 movies.

i got 3. Thanks for the heads up i didn't think that it would be good to have a 7200rpm drive for parity. I guess that is my next purchase.
