Well.. I'd rather rely on a good backup strategy than on expensive drives.

But what about disc drives? Haven't seen DVD-ROMs or writers in ages. (Are there any at all?) I mean, the system has to keep in touch with all devices attached even if they are not transferring data, so to take full advantage of scsi one would have to ban (s)ATA altoghter, right?
