My first and only SCSI system included a matched pair of Seagate drives. It booted Redhat 7pointsomething. One fine day a drive wouldn't post. Of course, it was nothing a low level format wouldn't fix. :-S. I found out a few weeks later, after abandoning raid 0, that a bit of mechanical agitation was all that was needed to get the drive going again (a swift kick to the side of the case).
