Yes, that's another Urban Legend.

Disk DRIVES are cheap, disk SPACE is not so cheap.

Consider this example: I have a disk cabinet with 24 slots and 23 disks. The 24th disk is cheap, but how much does the 25th disk cost? In addition to the disk drive we need a cabinet, controllers, cache, host adapters, cables, floor space, environmental controls, installation, configuration, management, maintenance contract, and on and on.
