While no maven, I determined that data retrieval
is VERY expensive. So I backup the backup.
300GB would be great and maybe even worth the
repair in case of malfunction. On the other hand
beyond a certain capacity the price per MB
increases dramatically ($90 for 200 GB and $250
for 300).

My first computer (circa 1980) was a XT with a
whopping 10 megs of storage. "There you go kid,
you'll never fill that one up", said the salesman.

Over the years I found that we will never have
enough space, thus the need for additional drives.
