Once of our servers is a dual athlon with 6x36G SCSI Disk Hardware RAID, 
its been running about 18months now, we have had 2 disk failures over 
that period  but each time it carried on no problems.

When we plugged in the replacement disk each time it just re-gigged 
itself with out any problems no down time at all.

Its pretty cool.
