They couldnt be any worse than IDE drives, which last about a year around here now. I am working on building a new file server. As soon as I get it built, I am going to move my office onto a file/server model instead of a workgroup model.

That is, no documents or files will be saved on local machines - all saving is on the server where it can be protected. Only OS and program run locally, all stuff saved to the network.

I just ordered four of these (link below) last night and four removeable drive bays. Also ordered a new MB that supports SATA RAID and a full height file server case. I'll stick a gigabit card in there and this olace will finally be run the way it always should have been.
