I've seen remarkably few magnetic disk head crashes.  Although, I was
seeing about one a month as soon as a Storageworks RAID array was
installed.  Good thing those horrible RZ-4? were RAID 5.  Bad thing
was that they were so unreliable that that you needed to RAID them.

Maybe it was all a convenient marketing ploy ...
