Just remember to make back-ups to either CD-ROM or to DVD-ROM, OK?
Disks fail. Big disks are notorious for failures, especially SATA disks like the one Steve has donated, to the extent that modern SATA-based RAID arrays now use a mirrored pair of disks for the checksum disk of a RAID-5 array.
Make lots of backups to CD or DVD media, and with a spot of luck you'll never need to use them...
