Do I Need This?

Is it worth it just to be able to say that I was the first on my block to have a terabyte of digital storage in my house?

LaCie - Big Disk Extreme with Triple Interface - USB 2.0, FireWire 400, FireWire 800: The LaCie Big Disk Extreme with Triple Interface delivers seriously impressive capacity while reaching never-before-seen transfer rates that are up to 50 percent faster than 1st regular generation FireWire 800 drives*. With FireWire 800, FireWire 400, and Hi-Speed USB 2.0 interfaces, this plug & play hard drive can help you share data among the widest range of user platforms. Achieve a transparent, built-in RAID 0 array without complicated configuration with its compact 5.25” 1U design. Use it to store presentations, archive image banks or pre-press files, or exchange audio/video projects. The combination of Extreme speed and huge capacity make it ideal for audio/video professionals working on large-scale editing projects or wanting to chain FireWire or iLink DV cameras.

It probably isn't even a real terabyte--that is, it's probably just 1,000,000,000,000 rather than 1,099,511,627,776 bytes.
