    About $1.63 per GB thats not too shabby, I hear OCZ is a pain for rebates sometimes though.

    Nice deal, but still too rich for my blood. For $389 I'd rather have 10+TB of storage.

    Probably not for what you're thinking ;)

    I use my desktop PC as a media server and space goes bye bye fast when ripping blu rays. I also plan on diving into filming w/ DSLRs which will probably take up a lot of space. I guess 5TB for storage & 5TB to back up my stuff. If I want higher read/write speed I could always set up a raid configuration.

    10,000GB > 240GB
