Personally I think you're an idiot but, that's just me. Yes there are
that many parts in a SS20. Any one can fail. They were introduced in
1994. How old were you then ? I thought so.
Anyway, my point was why worry about buying new hard drives when you
have working ones any anything else could go as well. You should not be
using a ss20 for anything important. Of course, there are people that
have no choice. Pretty sure you aren't one.
They are great machines. Fun to play with. That is why most of us are
here. We used these things when they were current. We used them to run
businesses and crunch numbers. Would we now if given a choice ? No way.
If you are saying you should use them for anything that matters then
please read the first sentence again.

If you think this way I have to wonder what you are doing here. We
aren't here because we think old machines produce more computation per
watt, per second, or whatever. We're here because we like playing with
old machines. Saying that something done to keep an old machine running
is "wasting money" is completely missing the point. Or, at least, that's
my understanding of it. It's certainly accurate as applied to me.
