Thats more of a high-load server I/O controller.. you don't really need something that expensive for a few home SATA hard drives (Especially not the SAS support). Not to mention it only supports SATA-150.

why do you need 8X1TB HDD's? Unless your gonna RAID all 8 to be 1TB or 2TB?
Raid 50 is stupid, why do you need 5TB? :S Just buy 4 HDD's rather than 8?

5tb? ***?
For all you know he may have a load of 1080p bluray movies at 6gb each it all adds up.
I know many people who have around this sort of storage, go down mac rumors and its the regular to see people with 3tb storage +.
~8 - 13GB. Depending on the length of the film and bitrate. You can get direct rips which are about 40GB, but the majority of them are compressed ones. Still look almost as good as the original.
