Dunno if they track, but I don't work physically on the servers and I have
no access to the server rooms.

I just copy large stuff to a server that the team 'owns'. Solves the space
problems and makes the backup some else's problem

I don't know about Gail, but that wouldn't work for me. The server HDs 
are Ultra320 SCSI, whereas the desktop HDs are Parallel-ATA...

So buy it and expense it. :-)

     It's not feature creep if you put it
     at the end and adjust the release date.

Oh.  Surely all HDDs are the same, they just have bigger or smaller 
gigathingys and can plug in any computer?  You mean I can't put a 
hot-swappable 15 kRPM SCSI HD in my PC?  What about low-voltage differential 
SCSI?  High-voltage differential?  It's all just mega-gigsits of storage 
surely?

You laugh, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually the same HD, 
just with a different circuit board on the back... ;-)

PS. How many different types of SCSI *are* there, anyway?!? There just 
seems to be an endless zoo of them!
