Using *any* single form of storage without backup is asking for disaster.
IDE drives are often only guarenteed for about 3yrs. SCSI tends to be a
little longer.

If money was no limit, I'd run RAID on my desktop, so I could lose a HDD,
and I'd backup daily to DAT or similar. But even this setup is not
foolproof.

Backups should also be stored off site too.
