Do you have inside information to when drives >2TB will 
be affordable to the average person or even available?

That argument is just nuts. Drive prices will have to 
drop to 10% of what they are now per GB, and as far as 
I know there aren't any commonly available .5TB drives 
yet. It will likely be a couple years before a 2TB 
drive will be commonly available.
