We use a CMD RAID-System Type CRD 5500 with 2 controllers and 3
RAID-Sets with 5 x 18 GB each for our AFS Fileservers since 3 years.
They appeared to be very stable; we had one outage because of 
high temperature failure, so one of the power units failed and it was 
impossible to replace that unit during operation.

Another CMD CRD 5440 is used by a mailserver, but it is to new for us
to say something about reliability.
