When a solution exists to easily get the whole drive capacity, then yes
I would care.  Nothin wrong with another local fileserver giving more
shared storage space to the local network.

Besides if it is a dedicated firewall, perhaps you have another machine
you can borrow the HD from another machine for the firewall and add the
new large drive to your main machine.
