Hmm, if it allowed me to store and easily access say, ~2 Terabytes of data (books, videos, etc.) and the risk was minimal, then frankly, yes... Plus, I'm sure they won't be obsolete that fast - once it develops to a certain point, the need to upgrade won't be as urgent - kind of like the difference between a Pentium 4, a Core 2 Quad and a Sandy Bridge Core i7 - the performance difference is huge, but the C2Q's useable lifespan is about a decade, whereas the P4 was only useable for less than 5 years. Sandy Bridge will be fast for at least a decade, as well...
