I assumed by money he meant the cost of electricity (and your time to
replace them when they go bad), since it's difficult to buy that size
nowadays.  The cost of two drives is about twice the cost of one drive, no
matter the logical size.  To me, anything under 160g is a "waste", so I
guess it's subjective!  =)
