As much as I hate to say it, Best Buy's extended service plan is actually worth it sometimes. Two years ago, I bought a digital camera from them for use at a summer camp. Knowing it would see a lot of use (100,000 pictures each summer), I got the extended service plan. Well, 6 months before the plan expired, the camera died. It wasn't dropped or anything, it just stopped working. I took it in to Best Buy, and they looked at it while I stood there, then they gave me the full value I paid for the camera in store credit! No loopholes to jump through or anything.

SCSI is great for a database server, but SATA will be much more practicle in a file server. That's the way I would go.

So I'd have to say the ESP is a good deal.
