Cool, in a year or so, it should be affordable.

I just spent a week trying to defragment my 1TB drive. How long with a 2TB take?!?!?!

Fortunately defragging XFS on the odd occasion in Linux is not that bad.

Lol. That was my first thought. But I reckon it's gonna die from heat before that. I am amazed this Hitachi took all this abuse. It was unnerving to have to listen to it.
