Agreed.. my SCSI drives have survived (and they were secondhand to begin
with) for approximately the same amount of time.  I've got four of 'em at
the moment, and they're all chained up and grinding away happily... the
only filesystem deterioration I suffer is when I -actively- dibble around
with things and deliberately shuffle parameters :)  This is probably par
for the course, especially considering how often I break my system by
blindly upgrading something or other. :)
