That's way too much money for what you get. Maybe 5 years from now I'd be willing to spend say $400 on a 6TB drive that's that fast all by itself. But no way I'd spend $25,000 (for the drives alone) when there's nothing out there software-wise that even needs that sort of drive speed. So what if stuff loads faster, or you can delete files quickly?

This is the computer geek equivalent of strapping a jet engine to the back of a car just to say "I've got a 1,200hp VW bug".
