When you start over, consider doing the import piecemeal even though you will have bigger drives. It's just more robust in case something goes wrong for reasons unrelated to the amount of space - eg, if some of the files refuse to import. After the import is done, you'll probably want to merge everything together into a single component - that will be a big and bulky step and if you start running low on space even with new drives, consider merging into a separate MAP file (put the MAP file with the imported images onto drive 1, create a new MAP file on drive 2, link the MAP file with the imported images, create a map in the new MAP file, bring all images from the linked MAP file, merge into a new image in the new MAP file, wait, save). For the record, based on your report of 3/4 out of 1.4 TB done in 15 hours, it was going at about 20 MB/sec - pretty good, that's good sustained speed for a big data set that overflows all caches it hits (plus there's fragmentation, decoding / repackaging in the middle, plus that's read + write... the speed was good).
