Personally, I feel that $5 a month for everything you can squeeze onto as many internal drives as you can fit in your machine is very, very good value indeed.
Myself I do not use external drives, I do have a NAS which contains my movies etc, but I just have that set to double disk redundancy and prey it never catches fire etc. It cannot be stolen at all easily as it is in a secure location.
