And because an Amazon Import http://aws.amazon.com/importexport/ can take 3 weeks. No need to speed down the highway in that case :)

Wow, I had no idea. 3 weeks for them to do the physical hard drive hook-up, or 3 weeks of data transfer once it is hooked up? (Or a combo?)

I think there was a queue to do the hook-up work, not completely sure. Please check with Amazon when you need this, it might be less now.
