Western Digital Caviar Green 1.5TB is $130 at newegg, no coupon needed.  You also get a copy of Acronis True Image Home 2009 for free.  Great value for the software if you need it since it's worth $40.  If you don't you can sell it on ebay for $25 - $30 all day long.  Net cost for the HDD is about $110.

 

Considering that the 1TB is priced at $80 and that's considered good value, $110 for 1.5TB should be an even better value.

If anyone is interested in just getting the Acronis True Image Home software for $25 shipped (lower 48 only) let me know.

How is the Acronis True Image licensed?

Is it just a serial number or is there an activation process limiting it's installation to one computer?

I don't have the 2009 version. I have the one previous & it was just a serial number. The program lets you make a boot up cd with the full program on it. That is what I did.

 

I can use it on all of my computers by using that boot up cd. Works great. I write the backup file direct to my unRAID server. The boot up cd lets you select a network location for the destination for the image file.

I use PING and it is free:

Works great for network image backup of PCs to unRAID server.

OT: I'm looking at installing PING to back up/restore of my PC from my unRAID. I have read the instructions but still don't understand what and how to install on my PC and my unRAID (already burned the boot disc).  Could you give me a 101 on how to setup specifically for an unRAID.
