It seems that hard disk prices will drop dramatically this autumn. Perhaps by half. I'm planning to get a 500 GB or a 750 GB external hard disk for iMac backups, but not yet. A Firewire 800 version would be nice, and I think a 750 GB disk may cost less that 200 euros later this year. Meanwhile, I bought a couple DVD+RW disks for backing up my photos and music bought from iTMS. On the other hand, I believe the built-in backup software (Time Machine) in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will increase the demand for disks, so perhaps the drop in prices will not be so great after all.
