Hitachi is shipping their 1GB disks now, $450 ang price
daw.  I don't know if that's suggested retail though, or
volume pricing.  7200RPM, so I don't think I'd use them 
for database servers (well, puede na rin, if I can get
8 of them in a box, more spindles=more performance), but 
definitely a good option for rsync based backups (or any 
backups).
