Most people will no longer have working systems to worry about working disk
storage down the road.
While I have a few Amigas most of my collection is either floppy based (8
bit systems) or IDE/SCSI (Mac/PC) so I stocked up on drives over the years.
All the DOA and faulty drives have long been turned into razor blades, seems
like most of what is left and has been taken care of still works (IDE/SCSI).
The older RLL/MFM drives were kind of crappy when new, so I can see people
wanting those replaced with something more current and more available
(finding MFM is much harder then IDE/SCSI).

I don't fancy having to find more of them, but I did save quite a few
when they were cheap/free. They won't last forever, but I'm set for
some years.
Looking ahead, though, I expect to have a number of SCSI-SD
replacements at some point. I'll have to.
