How so?
Well, for the amount of money I spend on hard drives and other hardware I could subscribe to Netflix for about 30 years.
How much disk space do you need?
I have a simple 500GD HDD ($25) and a 230GB (?).
I also have $120 worth of DVD and CD for ~$60 thanks to Goodwill
Fits nicely.
Don't forget some people run RAID, which means you need duplicates of the HDD. That really adds up.
