Indeed. It seems they're expensive, come in a very limited set of sizes
and last forever. All but one of which are favourable qualities for
something going to a server, RAID array or other Very Important Box.

And no matter how high-end and fast people try to make pc's, they still
won't take in SCSI because "it's not really faster and it's more
expensive". Wonders when IDE UDMA666 over fiber is coming out..
