If only I could run to Fry's and buy a 300TB hard drive.

Well, you can "run out" and buy a 180TB 4U backblaze storage pod assembled for about $10,500. For $21,000 you can buy two and have 60TB to spare. $8,500/ $17,000 if you want to DIY. Not too bad:

Yev from Backblaze here -> http://www.backuppods.com/ check those guys out they'll build one for you, or you can DIY if you're handy. And then you can choose which drives you want to toss in it.
