That even mirrored arrays don't always save you. Back in July we had a power failure in which the power went up and down 3 times in very rapid succession. Took out both the primaries and mirrors. I also learned that having CDRW back ups don't help either. I'd been doing fairly regular backups to CDRWs and the 2 most recent ones were unreadable even though the drive had shown no errors when they were created. Good ol' Murphy loves to get into whatever he can..
