one of my friend require 4 TB external HDD with better speed. usb 2.0 option but is any alternative available to copy big size dataKindly suggest few alternatives.

4 TB for what purpose actually? That's a huge requirement, and the cost usually runs into 20 grand. Unless of course you are fine with buying a couple of 2 TBs or 4 1TBs.

Backblaze online backup with Hayai Broadband would be nice instead of 4TB external HDD.

Alternative depends, are the two pc's close? if yes you can connect them directly through LAN and transfer.

I think he needs it right now. However, there is no fixed date yet decided by mathew about its launching.
If thread starter can afford to wait for hayai, he can go for it. He may have numbers of options.
