If you cared about your data you probably wouldn't be building one of these things in the first place.

This seems a bit off considering Backblaze demonstrates right here that you can care about your data and your budget at the same time.

If you are going to use high-end 'pro' drives then wouldn't you just buy a high-end enterprise grade SAN anyway?
