Actually I was referring to the controller itself giving up the ghost -- not 
losing a drive and having the controller freak out.  :-)

In the end it's all just a big game of "acceptable risk" -- In my particular 
situation I can handle being down for an hour while I hack together a 
replacement system, so redundant power supplies aren't an issue.  Redundant 
disks are but if the controller fries it's no biggie.
