    I don't know about DL385 or DL585, but DL380 seem to go south within
    1 year of heavy hitting; precisely the Smart Array RAID controllers
    (4 out of 6 disks suddenly "red"; insert new disks, ooops red as
    well).

    I've seen this happen several times, and came away with a conclusion
    that DL380 is sexy, but you don't want to marry it. Then again,
    maybe the DL385 is different, though I seem to remember that both
    G3 (Smart Array 5i) and G4 (6i) did this.
