That's true...didn't even think of that...
In fact, there was a guy from the Parks Canada who used to order parts through us all the time who said that the old server technician used to order single big drives because they were cheaper. When the drives would die they would lose tons of information at a time, so when George went in he started using a fuckton of 60 and 80 gigers in mirrored&striped RAID.... drives still died, and it was more expensive, but at least when they did go on the fritz they didn't lose everything.
On that note, about a month or two ago one of my dedicated servers' hard drive crashed. I lost probably about a hundred hours of scripting that day,
