You can get a 1Tb RAID setup going for under $600 without even really trying to shop or Dean-style amazing deals.

You think an external drive that you swap in and out, move between systems, bump into stuff, etc is going to be more reliable than a drive inside a nice big PC tower? Computer crashes don't destroy data, physical drive crashes destroy data... and external drives are less protected than those inside a "permanent" case. Plus, I've never seen an external drive that's a 1TB RAID array.
Perhaps you're talking about network storage arrays, not external drives?
(Also 1Tb = 1 terrabit, which is only 128GB... bytes are capital B's
)
