For $4/months, "offsite" storage, via Carbonite, is cheap for my
benefit at ten times the price.


I bought a NAS (Network attached storage) box to store backups and
multimedia files on. With 7.5 TB of storage (but reduced to around 4
TB due to running the drives in RAID6 configuration), it cost around
$1000. That $4/month will pay for 250 months, or about 20 years of
storage and by that time you'll need more space than 4 TB. Hopefully
Carbonite will up the amount of space you can use without raising the
price excessively.


Tera bytes? Is anyone involved in this thread even thinking about
realistic needs? Come on - terabytes?



I have about 3T of external drives.
