n the end it doesn't matter how reliable the hardware is...

We upgraded from a S/38 to an As/400 in January, 95.  Is September of '97 we 
upgraded
rom the 320 to a 520 and purcheased a bunch of extra disk.  In September of '99 
we went
from the 520 to a 720 and purrchased some extra disk to add to the disks we 
carried
over from the 520.  At that time we decided t ogo for RAID.  A week after we 
got the
new system online, one of the 4GB disks that came with the 520 went out.

Within the space of three months, a total of three disks have crashed.  With 
the RAID,
we haven't been down for a minute because of it.  We get a message in QSYSOPR 
and we
call IBM.  A CE comes out and replaces the disk and all is fine.
