Those disks are far too small to be useful today for even our modest
(maybe 50GB of compressed savesets) requirements.  And they'd have to be
attached to something that is off-site but can be accessed by a
replacement system on-site.  Now the recovery could be easier with a bit
of extra local storage on the replacement system as discussed in another
message in this thread.  For the rx2660, we'd have to have SAS 2.5" SFF
hot plug disks and carriers, and yes, David Turner sells them at a
reasonable price.  I will keep that in mind.
