Depends on what you are after. We need 650GB for archival storage. We can
buy 2 {RAID, you know} 750GB at ~$200 each. Or we can buy 10 of the 2.5"
160GB's at $250 each. [We'll also need some way to mount the six that
won't fit in the server.]

Given the usage of the server, which is a tortoise vs hare case; which
should we do?
