I'm glad to see that you're still resisting the temptation to implement
some sort of backup procedure.  :-P

I have around 40 IBM drives that I deal with regularly in our office and
server facility.  They've been quite reliable for me.  I wouldn't run
without backups though...

The 3ware RAID cards work just fine.
