Too expensive

Thumb Down

I just picked up 2 x 1TB Hitachi drives for less than £100. Adding a case and a few connections should not cost so much more.

Current sweet spot in the price/capacity curve for run-of-the-mill SATA drives seems to be 1.5TB at around $125. I wouldn't pay it, but $700 for what's in this device is roughly in line with market.
