seriously, thats just wrong. Ever heard of IBM "death"start HDs? Or
other stuff? As long as you use IDE hardware you are always close to
fail, IDE hardware is done to put much data on cheap disks.

If you use IDE stuff in servers, make all raid. And SWAP too, SWAP can
be used heavilty, and if there are bad blocks you are hit too.

A expensive vendor doesn't help you from crappy HW insealf.
