Context-sensitive news, just as I'm wondering what to do about my lack of storage!

I've been using random 3.5" server drives with an external USB 3.0 dock for a while now. I've been really thinking about doing some kind of RAID setup with one of those 5.25"->4x2.5" backplanes lately, but if 6TB+ drives are coming out soon, maybe I can stop worrying and just wait a while more for the prices to drop.
