Well, the ISP I'm a partner in has a whole bunch of Gigabit links to the rest of the world and peers with nearly 200 other providers at a variety of peering points.
My connection from there to my house, where the 32TB servers are, is a direct T1 and an unmetered 50/10 Mbit link via a tunnel through a cable TV company. Both of those cost in the neighborhood of US $175/month.

How much is a WD 2TB Desktop HDD over there at the moment?
|
Looks like the cheapest WD is the WD20EARS at US $139.99 from Newegg. The cheapest 2GB listed there is the Hitachi 0F10311 at $129.99.
However, I'm not using desktop drives in my array - I'm using the WD RE4 WD2003FYYS. which is still over US $300 each (in 20-packs, they're around US $6200).
