Why would you think people would do this? I'd think they'd be more likely to simply think "I'm out of disk space; I'll just buy an external 2TB USB disk and throw it on there".

I certainly used to do this when my Linux box (a nettop with only a single internal bay) was doing my NAS duties.

I think that it's only people like us that tend to have 200GB disks lying around the house.
