Here are some ways:
Index less data, store fewer fields and less data, compress fields, change Lucene's the term index interval (default 128; increasing it will make your index a little bit smaller, but will slow down queries)... But in general, the more your index the more hw you'll need. I saw 1TB disks for ~$300 USD the other day. You are in China and this stuff is even cheaper there.
