Raid

On the topic of raid, anybody else experience one of Dell's problem Perc3 Controllers of a couple years ago? I had one. Without the right firmware it would take out multiple drives on a raid unit. One of my servers has 14 73gig scsi drives and it took out at least 4 of them. A huge pain in the .....Was the only time I have seen dell willing to send a tech to you whenever you wanted 7*24*365 to fix the problem. Thank goodness I didn't have anything critical on there. Since 2 or more drives failed per container, raid couln't help. They actually called me, but one of mine already bit the dust.
