There is no more risk in the san than would be in a normal array. You still have controllers and disks that can fail.

I have done some work for a company that uses ESA10000's, the old SCSI based storage works units. They had a few troubles with one of them, which has the data volumes for Exchange, the file server, database server etc etc. When that baby went down, so did EVERYTHING else. I guess it is a trade off between funcitonalty and risk.
