You're very lucky. I've lost a few drives and one ATTO card to nitwit
students just "moving that drive over here for just a second 'cause I
can't wait for it to go across the network"

Scanners seem a bit more resiliant to that sort of thing, but I
consistently get SCSI errors on the dedicated scanner machine now with
anything higher bandwidth (aka: drives) than the scanner.
