You must be joking! Photographers, Digital artist and Videographers all NEED this kind of storage. What about when a father goes to best buy and picks up a entry level DSLR? Canons new rebel has a 15 mega pixel sensor. It also shoots video. If that person isn't stingy with what and how often there are shooting, they could easily get to the point were one of these would start to make sense. Maybe the 2nd gen drobo would be more for them but maybe they have teenagers with alot of music and the pro would start to make more sense. That stuff all needs to be stored somewhere right? It they are smart it does.

Newspapers and magazines... what do they do with all the pictures and video that they take? Throw it away? Nope they keep it. Think about your local newspaper and how many pictures they run each week. Now figure that each of those pictures was part of a one, two, three or maybe four hundred photo series depending on the subject. Depending on the camera thats 2-6GB of data on one shoot. Now think about a operation like the national geographic.

A wedding photographer shoots anywhere from 2000-6000 imgages per wedding. Some wedding photographers shoot with two photographers and shoot two weddings every weekend. They keep all of those photos

What about a production house? A medium sized outfit has to make important "what to keep and what to throw away" decisions all the time. Something like this make those decisions a little easier. Any business has tuns of stuff that needs to be stored and needs to be stored safely.

Its important to remember that this is just an enclosure. When 4TB drives become available, this thing would be able to hold 32TB worth of hard drives. Not everyone needs that but a lot of people do.
My music is where id like you to touch!
Your an idiot. DSLR's don't have interchangeable sensors and any camera is going to be out of date in 2 years.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
