1Tb (1000Gb) external storage box = $169.
So $338 gets me 1Tb worth of doubled up hard-disk backup.
DVDr is $1 per 4.3Gb doubled up backup.
... or more importantly DVDr is about 23.2 cents per Gb.
The hard-disk method would be 33.8 cents per Gb, or $1 per 2.95Gb.
Very simply, 1Tb hard drives need to drop to about $115 each to match the DVDr method in cost.
Hopefully they do a side-show because I really don't want to see a Serj solo show. System Of A Down yes, Serj solo no.
