and someone in one of the storage  design teams went out and
bought a SCSI drive, an IDE drive, and a SATA  drive, and
dissected them.  The photos showed a big differentce in build
quality.  Bigger bearings,  better seals, better casing. Guess
which one was better?  There is a reason why SATA RAID array
"best practices" is for 2x as many  spares per disk population,
and why "dual parity" is used.  An HTML attachment was
