Or a voltage spike to fry it (the OP has a UPS, right?). Or if there is 
some flooding it will scramble things as well.

Regardless of media you use, make sure there is at least one back up 
off site. I've heard of some insurance companies not paying out the 
business continuation payments since there was no off site data (it was 
a condition in the agreement / contract).
