You need to become acquainted with SAN, JC. Multi-TB solutions are available. Of course the cost goes up, but you are stepping into turf where HW cost is the least of your problems.

Jim,

Mirrors are fine for small data needs but the cost is 50% anyway.  One drive
for data, one for the mirror. If you need a single large drive, 750 gig
drives are as big as you can get, and they cost ~$350 or so right now, so
that is $700 for 700 (real) MB and that is as big as it gets.  Plus, if you
use the controller built in to the motherboard they are not particularly
fast.  That is a great solution though if that falls within your needs.  For
reliably protecting music or software or document archives it is "good
enough".
