If you make your own it's not that expensive. For a disk bank whose purpose 
is to keep images online, you don't need high performance, and bare disks 
are actually pretty cheap.  You can buy an Addonics 5-bay disk cabinet for 
about $400, and 750-GB Seagate drives for $100 each. That means that for 
under $1000 and perhaps one day of your time putting it all together, you 
can have a 3.75-Terabyte external disk array.
