>If the PSU failed

The PSU? As in one (1)? Because then, to quote Adam Savage, Well there's your problem!

Yeah that caught my eye as well. My home media server is a repurposed Dell tower server with redundant PSUs, if I can swing that for non-critical movies and TV shows, surely a large scale cloud provider will have not only redundant PSUs on each node, but their storage will be redundant and rebuildable as well? Else what are their customers actually paying for?
