I think that, for my personal systems, I am facing the equivalent
of 3 fatal read errors / (20 TB * year).

out an average user will have a single fatal read error during
the lifetime of the drive (this asumes 2 TB drives running for 4
years). Actually, 1.2 errors, but let's round it down :-P

Those are some good numbers. Not sure about rounding down a .2 error though :) Or maybe thats a soft error instead of a hard error.. :P One of the largest problems I've always had until very recently, is the lack of media to make any real backups on. But having lost a HEAP of video data on an experimental shared jbod. I have far less to back up :) So going forward it might be more of a plan.
