Yup - that's the theory. ;^) If you're anything like me you'll be amazing how quickly it fills up - you really do grow into your storage. I've got a 1.2 TB NAS array (four 400 Gig in RAID 5) and it's full... plus 400 mirrored Gig on my main station and it's full... plus an external 500 Meg USB drive and it's full. I've also got another 500 Gig USB drive that I just recently picked up just for backups. I think the next big purchase I'll try to slip past the boss will be another NAS box with four TB drives...
