Like... what? Storing the entire season of Friends in uncompressed RGB

I didn't actually need one that big. 160 GB would have been fine. I just 
need slightly more space for my C: partition. I foolishly tried to 
install Komplete 5, which takes up 36 GB of space... [And people 
complain that M$ produces large products!]

Oh, no, for a business it wouldn't be. I was thinking more for the 
casual comsumer.

I guess "high-end" and related terms are necessarily somewhat 
subjective. If you want, you can buy yourself a Sun system with 32 
UltraSPARCs in it or something insane like that...
