I don't know about streaming, but you can directly connect a HD to a PS3 and play movies off of it.

250GB Mac HDD:
TV shows/Movies:181.82GB
iTunes Library:16.86GB
Remaining:8.11GB
500GB Mypassport Studio:
Anime:23.46GB
Backup:217GB
Movies:40.69GB
Vids:200.49GB
Remaining:24.54GB
Tons upon tons of HD video.
To give you an idea:
Inception=5GB 720p
Inception=8GB 1080p
I'm in the market for a 1TB-500GB External HD.
I'll probably buy another 500GB Mypassport Studio.

Back up storage is appreciated whether it is internal external usb or network. I highly recommend getting an ssd and a massive storage combo. You wouldnt believe how much of a difference ssd makes when it comes to performance. People always talking about cores but they are fast enough for everyday computing. Ssd upgrade is where you see true performance upgade and its going to be a hot item in black friday. Get an ssd to boot and install programs and bundle it with secondary storage for the high capacity media stuff. They should be 100 or less for a 64gb ssd in bf

RAW Photos. Each pic is around 12mb. A typical 1hr shoot, I can take up to 300+ pix = 8gb CF card which I transfer immediately to backup drive once I get home.
