new server motherboard with SATA II

[Jonas Lund]

Thanks for the great overview/info. I guess i can hope that my disk
will tell me something. Otherwise i really hope that my raid1-setup
will save me (and a future me that got his ass off the couch fixing
proper offsite backups).

The part about bashing was not directed at you, just a general note to
get those extra mails out of the way. Sorry if it came out wrong.

I totally agree about the price being insane. Some people swear by
SCSI usually having better quality parts, no idea on how much that
corresponds to the truth tho.
