Well, if you're wanting it to last five years, you'd better buy SCSI hard drives. Modern IDE kit isn't designed to last any longer than the lowest warranty period they can get away with. Even the supposed "five year warranty" SATA drives likely won't reliably last that long -- cheaper to replace a few percent (since, after all, most of them will have been thrown out, changed owners or had their warranty card lost by then) than to make them up to server spec. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Fluxbox, shell tools) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm
