Agreed, external FW is a good way to go.
And at this point in time I'll repeat one of my current mantras- I don't feel comfortable putting data on a single spindle that big.
I'd want to get a box that holds two or four 1TB HDs and RAID them to 1 or 2TBs.
Putting a bigger HD in my 250G G5 iMac is a walk in the park. My new iMac looks to be more work than I care to embark on, so 320G will be fine. I might add a miniStack for the short term.
I like the idea of keeping a lot of storage inside the iMac, but not being able to wouldn't keep me from buying an iMac.
