It was the dawn of the third age of mankind. Ten years after the Earth Minbari war. The Babylon project was dream giving form. It's goal to prevent another war by creating a place where humans and aliens could work out their differences peacefully. It's a port of call. Home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanders. Humans and aliens wrap in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night. It can be a dangerous place, but it's our last best hope for peace. This is the story of last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2258. The name of the place is Babylon 5.

512gb + 512gb is 1Tb of storage (the exact storage amount one needs is always personal and has different costs and capabilities)
why? Storage costs have been dragging since 2008 when 320GB of storage was available for $79.99. Due to governments buying up most of the stock for surveillance purposes.
Shortly before prices spiked, I saw a 1TB one that had dropped to somewhere in the mid-40s, so I'd expect a noticable drop as well for half that capacity.
