Clark,
Could this really be a true story? The few boxes that attach to mainframes
would have triggered a SIM the moment someone unlatched and pulled the drive
- a highlighted, non-scrolling error message on the console.
And of course the box would have called home to report the failed drive, and
within an hour or two the CE/FE would have been asking where the missing
drive canister had gone.
Any computer room worth it's salt would have a log of who had gone in and
out and the culprit would have been nabbed before you could say
rumplestiltskin.
A box of spares next to a MF perhaps... Sounds like an urban myth to me.

PS That would be a hell of a PC running SSA or FCP HBAs.
No, we use to run HDS dual-SCSI-port drives, as the interface so common
in PCs. <g>
But seriously: I think it is *much easier* to copy the information than
to steal physical drive modules. If one's datacenter is well protected,
strict RACF and other security rules are enforced, then usually server
room is also well protected.
Regarding to Timothy's message about encryption - now I understand your
point. "Encryption everything" doesn't mean i.e. SYSRES and SPOOL. <g>
Timothy , you mean all sensitive data, don't you ?
