The law of diminishing returns.
A 40" flatscreen tele is 20% more than a 30"
a 50" flatscreen tele is 20% more than a 40"
a 60" fatscreen tele is 100% more than a 50"
- the way to decide HDD for the last 20 years in a non specialist market place, [ MTBF / platters / noise / gFORCE / heat etc ] is to simply work out how much HDD's are per GiGabyte.
less than 1/2T is totally uneconomic
1/2T about 12.5p per gig
1 T about 16.5p per gig
1 1/2T about 17.5p per gig
The difference between a 500 & 1000 is 4p per gig
The difference between a 1000 & 1500 is 1p per gig

Just bought myself a new Iomega Professional Hard Drive - Hard drive - 1 TB for £88 of ebay. When I placed it against the Iomega Prestige at £70 from John Lewis I thought what the hell it's best to do a bit of future proofing - and it did seem a good price.
