If your drives are failing more often before their MTBF time than
after, I would say you should be talking to your vendor.  There are a
lot of components in a SCSI RAID subsystem (the controller, the
backplane, the drives, and the software that runs on them all) -- it's
a sticky puzzle to debug, no question.

Like I said before, there's no silver bullet -- you just need to have
multiple levels of redundancy and plans in place when those
redundancies fail.
