Yes, but storage capacity isn't everything. But i'm sure you know this
already. It's just that 1TB disks do not make sense in most
corporations, unless you use it for archival purposes.

If you have 100 Users accessing 1TB of data from a RAID10 consisting
of 4 1TB RAID-Edition drives, performance will suck.

You will either need much more 1TB drives, which will give you lots of
unused capacity, or you will need faster disks.

It all depends on what exactly you want to do with that storage.
