Everyone I know who's run a current-model netapp says you absolutely
must get the yearly service contract because they do break regularly.
It's just that you don't usually lose service when they break because
they've bgot enough redundancy that the replacement parts usually arrive
before you have to shut them down completely.

The ex-Sun people I know wouldn't buy Sun's solution and would have
preferred a netapp if they could have afforded it....
