Aha!

With ATA, all bets are off.  ATA drives should never be used in applications
that require reliability or survivability.  Full stop.

Don't judge a manufacturer on their ATA quality, as they're all pretty much

On a tangent, how many professional sysadmins are actually reading this list?
(Apart from me, Ayako, Dmytro, Scott, and Jonathan).  I'd be interested to 
hear hardware horror stories ...
