Wow. 2TB. Man...I remember when 2tb was more space than I could even imagine needing. That would have been around 1997 or so. Actually, I have 2tb of storage, and I paid a hell of a lot less than that for it. Get some big hard drives (250 giggers or so) they go for about $65-75 if you shop around. Dig out an old computer (or alternatively grab some USB enclosures).
Put the drives in the computer. Build a raid, either with software or hardware. Hook up a network card. There ya go... lots of network attached storage. If it's terabytes of important crap, then you can even do mirroring or parity, which I doubt this thing will do.
Oh well...if you've got money to burn and you're stupid maybe this is the way to go instead.
