    You also need to account for RAID and backups. Storing everything on a single drive without copies is asking for sad times.

      Generally yes, and this obviously doubles the cost of storage. The good thing is you have options. In my view, not all data is the same so I view some data as more valuable as other data and can do backups of only specific things on drives I already have.
