Using a 3TB, $70 drive from NewEgg as an example, HDD costs for full 1GB blocks would be $3.36/day, today. Surely more than 2-3 corporations can afford that.

The RRP of a terabyte of hard drive on NewEgg has almost nothing to do with the cost of provisioning an additional reliable terabyte of datacenter storage + IOPS
