You could also keep a cold spare on hand. If you disconnect the system from the 'net while rebuilding the array then having a hot spare will make little difference other than to relieve you of having to plug in the new drive.But if your system starts dropping drives that are actually good, then it may be a faulty RAID controller. I'm guessing you don't have a spare controller on hand. If that's the case and you lose the controller, all you can do is wait for Fedex to show up with a replacement.
