It would cost me $20,000 to transfer that amount of data over 3G, and almost ten times that on another common carrier. The amount of "cloud" storage is irrelevant in most countries.

An even more unfriendly prospect: at a typical Australian upload speed of 100kB/s, it would take 2982 hours (124.5 days) to upload enough data to fill the drive. At this point, most people would have given up and bought a laptop with a decent amount of storage.
