[Tig] removable storage disks

[Jeff Heusser]

I had LaCie 1TB fail recently - seemed like power supply also.  Moved  
the drives out to an older box I had and all was well.   Noticed they  
became out of stock everywhere recently, now on Lacie site lists as  
available late July and the 2TB version was also announced.
