if you consider that a full disk several years old is in any case an
investment that's not going to cost more than its worth.

I.e. I have  a data sioze of about 50-100GB. teh cost of a TB disk which
so FAR exceeds what I already have is very little more than another
100GB disk, so why NOT get a big one and retire the old one?

that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.
