for SOHO with no public services, yes

well, we are speaking about mail spools and mail storages here i thought

additionally my mail storage lives on virtual machines as any other services
started some years ago and finsihed 2010 moving the last bare-metal server to
VM infrastructzre

in these environments you find near to zero SATA
only few people these does are doing bare metal installs in days
where hardware supported virtaliziation has nearly zero overhead
