Huh? Don't know where you get your figures, but sub-$500 for mass-produced units ought to be perfectly doable. Maybe a lot less: how much do you suppose the first terabyte hard drives cost? (I remember paying about $500 for a 20 MEGABYTE one, not all that long ago - about the time my truck was built, in fact :-)) Yet today you can find them for under $80: Newegg.com - Hard Drives, External Hard Drives, Internal Hard Drives, Laptop Hard Drives, Portable Hard Drives, Computer Hard Drives, SATA Hard Drives, Hard Drive
