Nope. That's my home setup.
Assorted collection of my private files is worth 2.4Tb, and that's excluding
wife's and kids'.
All stuff is triple-mirrored (as in - three different devices), total
hardware cost is less than $500 disks excluded.
I don't speak of enterprisey things on this list. But I admit that
certain habits crept from office to the home ;)
