I administer quite a few webservers with exactly that setup. Why? Because at no more than 1-2 hits per second sustained, that single ATA-100 HD is nowhere near I/O bound. On the other hand, no machine I have control over goes without backups, down to my wife's little iMac, and including the terraservers with large mirrored RAID setups. Regardless of how many redundant copies of a file I have on the same machine, there ain't no RAID that can cope gracefully with a fire or tornado. *All* machines are dumped to offsite tapes, period. -- Kirk Strauser In Googlis non est, ergo non est.
