If you aren't worried about backup, then RAID-0. If you did this internally, it would be cheep--say $50 per ~150 GB drive, get three, and you have 450 GB. Not a terabyte, but almost half of one! Externally, things get more expensive. I haven't found (I have only searched sporadically) a good external enclosure for ATA drives that doesn't cost a mint. Let me know if you find one.
