can be had dirt cheaply today. I retired a 2002 XP box four years ago with an i7-860 based box that screams. I just replaced the original 750 GB drive with a 2 TB drive that cost me the princely sum of $90. And I bought a second identical one for ghosting purposes.
I use a family of USB hard drives for backup purposes, but the transfer rate from them isn't nearly that of an internal SATA drive.
