It's only 21 times more expensive than my 640 GB hdd :D

Through i also have small 32gig SSD for OS :)

Well, HDDs are unliklely to increase in capacity or decrease in cost from now. We are at the limit of thieir technology.

Really?

The first 1TB HDD was unveiled in Jan. 2007. I don't see them much below $100 today, and drives above 1TB are very rare and expensive. SSDs are increasing in capacity much faster. The standard hard drive size has been stagnant at 320GB for some time.

The first 15,000rpm HDD was availible in 2000. There still aren't any speeds above this, 9 years later.
