I actually do have an ATA RAID 1 setup at home so that I don't have another drive failure on the mail server and lose over a week's worth of spam.
There are actually a number of ATA-based high-end storage arrays these days from NetApp and EMC; the sheer cost savings of using ATA drives instead of SCSI or FC is worth the tradeoff in performance for a lot of uses.
That floppy RAID was scary. I was impressed, though a RAID of the old Apple II 140K floppy drives would have been more impressive and far more useless.
