I don't really care about the drive.  I'd rather have good backups than 
worry about ruining the drive.  What good is there to prolonging a drive 
when it doesn't work/isn't configured right to begin with?

I like to run new stuff into the ground, and this one is no different.  
:)

I want amanda to do an amverify right after a backup session, but it's 
kinda annoying having to read through the amverify report filled with 
file offset errors and what not.
