Hi newcomer and welcome to the Tom's hardware forum.

Ok, 4 WD 500GB at 69.99 right?

4x$69.99=$279.96

Total: $ 279.96

For a similar price you can buy this:

1- One SSD 40GB like this at $ 129.99, and add $30 more and buy 2x1TB of this

Total: $ 309.97

2- Two SSD 40GB like this at $ 129.99

Total: $259.98

3- Add $20 more and buy a SSD 80GB like this

Total: $ 299.99

But is just IMO, is your money.
