That is the case... I wanted to save some power and I migrated from my old
P-II 4x IDE disk server to a tiny VIA C7 2x SATA disk one. They are
always running and are backed up by UPS.

I use always fs mirror for the arena partitions with 2 disks from different
brands. but no luck yet... no disks got bad on these machines so far.

By the way... the VIA machine is the one that got me lots of trouble
with the
SATA until i hacked a bruteforce retry-n-reset-loop in the ide driver,
now works
perfectly stable (84 days uptime for now)
