The Amazing $5k Terabyte Array

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the do-it-yourself dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "Running out of space on your local disk? How about a Terabyte array for only a few thousand dollars. This article at KCGeek.com shows how to put together 1000 Gigs of hard drive space for the cost of a few desktop computers." I could rip my entire anime collection for instant access! Rip all my CDs and still have .9 Terabytes left! Maybe Mirror Usenet! I guess the simple truth is that now that 100 gig drives are a couple hundred bucks, we now have the ability to store anything we reasonably could need (unless you define "Reasonable" as "I need to store DNA Sequences").

    Remember to place indexes at important scenes! Masturbation can't wait while you fast forward through the boring parts to get to the tenticle rape! Beat and beat and beat and beat!
