Reliability?!
It's a fact of life that harddrives crash, and many people do not have a backup policy in place to guard against data loss caused by equipment failure.

These drives encourage people to put all their eggs into a single basket with no protection, should the drive fail for whatever reason.

Hopefully the people who need that much storage will have the sense to build an array of smaller disks or buy two of those 750GB drives and set up mirroring.
