Overselling has become a need of all hosting companies, but those who give 1000 GB space and 10TB bandwidth on shared hosting plans have gone in wrong direction and they can't come back now. Calculated overselling is not bad as you can sell twice or thrice of the actual space and bandwidth without a problem.
We had HDD space problem with only one server which had 146 GB SAS drives, but we have stopped using SAS drives for the same reason. SAS drives cost should come down next year and we will consider SAS drives for our shared servers as well as VPS nodes once the cost comes down.
