It of course depends what you use the computer for, but that model is
marketed at "pro users" who do often need large amounts of storage
space. Apple's argument is basically that Thunderbolt is just as fast
(if not faster) than the internal connections.

My PowerMac has it's original 6GB hard drive and an added 120GB hard
drive - both only about half full. (It normally also has an old 4GB
laptop drive, but I've had to temporarily re-purpose that into an
external case for use on someone else's computer.)
