== the disk should NEVER die within reason
============================
- buy the disk from a good vendor .. not necessarily the cheapest
- install the disk and cables properly .. and cool the disk with
fans .. hard disk temp should not be above 30C (check w/ hddtemp)
if the server is in town ... you can have it email you
or another pc watching the server at the colo ..
- and don't forget to have x watch y and y watch z and z watch x
if the server is mroe than an hrs drive away... why bother ??
- you're in a heap a fun ...
