If we have some rich people, who are looking to buy a half a TB hard drive, here is a good article to read before you waste your money.

IMO, 500GB HDDs are too expensive. PC House are selling the Hitachi 7K500 500GB SATAII HDD for Rs.37,000!!! You can buy three 320GB HDDs for the same price and in the end that will give you about 1TB of storage space. Besides, if you have more disks, you can build RAID setups, can spread all your data on different HDDs so that in case one HDD fails, you will not lose all the data etc.
