There's a server room right down the hallway with racks of SCSI and SAS drives, some even running 2007 Opterons. I have no clue who's using them, but there's a ton of spares in the room leading into it, so there's definitely demand for these things.

As with all technologies though, the cost first starts out high as it's introduced, is reduced as it becomes popular, and climbs back up as it's obsoleted and nobody makes them anymore but some people are stuck using them.
