750 GB drives cost 11k each at Nehru Place. we've just bought a bunch of them for storage. Personally I recommend a HDD based software raid 5 array. I have 2 such arrays at home totalling 2.5TB and they have been working really well for the past 2 years.
We did something similar at work with several 1.5TB arrays for backups using rsync scripts to pull backups 3 times a day from client machines. If you want a really cool setup then check out backuppc it is an automated snapshot style backup system that can work with rsync to get really good performance (backup speeds).we've been planning to migrate tho this from our current scripted backup system.it has a nice web interface and pulls backups from the client machines on an individual schedule.
