We use them everywhere!

On a front-facing server, web or database, we use RAID 1. Up until 
recently that was a pair of 146GB SAS drives which is heaps of capacity 
unless you are doing very high-end stuff and RAID 1 is the fastest of 
the simple RAIDs for reading which is what happens most.

The backend is NAS equivalent with RAID 6 where reliability is the 
thing, not speed.

And he just walked out saying nothing! Not a sorry or anything and the 
poor client had to bring the entire machine up from scratch. Fortunately 
the client had left the machine's disk set with us so we did the OS and 
App (CF 6.1) install and the like and he did the rest remotely. We made 
a formal complaint about the tech..... :-)
