I didn't know this! Thanks for telling stuff I should have already known!

>> As time goes on we're left with kit that's out of warranty, but still has a good year or two of useful life in it. Their operational lifetime will be enhanced if we got a few spare parts, mainly HDD. Does anyone have any recommended suppliers for such parts, particularly "Enterprise"-quality HDD. And whilst I'm on the subject, what are people's opinions on whether or not the "Enterprise" label on a HDD is worth it?
