As long as their 2TB drives aren't plagued with the problems of the 1.5TB chite the released awhile back I don't care if the do hit the wall. All I want is about 4 of these puppies to make my ultimate raid5 media server.

steve, you and john colman are both assuming Jacqui Smith actually has a brain.

Personally I don't reckon Stephen Hawking armed with an electron microscope would be able to find it, so it really wouldn't matter about a data centre that small getting lost.
