I think that with higher priced systems, this does become
an urban legend for just the reasons you cite. We run into
this problem all the time.

Yes, that's another Urban Legend.
Disk DRIVES are cheap, disk SPACE is not so cheap.
Consider this example: I have a disk cabinet with 24 slots and 23
disks. The 24th disk is cheap, but how much does the 25th disk cost? In
addition to the disk drive we need a cabinet, controllers, cache, host
adapters, cables, floor space, environmental controls, installation,
configuration, management, maintenance contract, and on and on.
