For years I have used drive space like a Pixar render farm... Starting years ago as a timeline designer and coder at AVID... back when it was costing me something like $3K for 10K spin Cheetah SSCII drives for 250meg storage...
At last count I had 50 external drives before I donate 30 of them to Salvation Army (ok not sure who is shopping there for old high speed SSCII drives) but it felt nice to unload lots of metal that I will never use again... Getting back to the whole reason of this posting... Shopping yesterday at good old Best Buy I picked up a pocket size 1TB drive for $89 and an external USB 3.0 3TB for $129... like $40 per TB... simply amazing... Now Have have to find time to consolidate my other drives onto a few 3TB drives..
Can't wait when my phones will have multi TB local storage...
