Pop, in all seriousness. Back in the old days, we'd use server grade components. EG A thousand dollar mylex raid card, etc.
The servers were all scsi in those days. Anyway, once the raid was setup it was fine for years.
The issue I have today is not so much the server grade hardware (look at googles and banking silos), it is the fact that the cheap taiwan motherboards with onboard raid are used as servers!
It's the old adage, you get what you pay for. My sata (good click-in cable) connector likes to disconnect for no reason. I just plug it out and back in and the intel service finds the disk again and starts rebuilding. and 3 frikking days later it's rebuilt. An 8tb usb3 backup drive is your friend!
