How reliable are they going to be? I have heard RAM isn't as reliable as it used to be due to the ridiculous densities we've gotten them to. Same for HDDs.

At what point do we stop because reliability has gotten unacceptably low?

Depends on how you define reliability. Drive failures? Bad sectors? Incorrect data read?
