    Right now I'm looking for some large capacity storage. Heres the deal. I am currently deployed overseas. I have my X7200 which holds about 2.5 TB of HDD space. One of the 1TB drives is a data drive, and the other 1TB drive is a drive where I put my image backups on. (OS Drive Image, Gaming SSD Image, Data Drive Image)

    Well I'm running out of room. Back home I have a 3TB Mybook which I didn't bring with me.

    Here at my base we have a morale drive on the network, which I'd like to grab copies of a lot of the movies and tv shows. So I need some suggestions on hard drives. I'm looking in the 3-4 TB range. Ideally i'd love to have more. However, when I get home, I plany to build a server, and a desktop computer (or new monster laptop). So I don't want to go too overboard. I also want something that should be reliable.

    Are there any good drives out there for a good price in the 3-4+ TB Range?

    All suggestions and ideas are welcome. Thanks guys!
