Jared,
I'm sorry, but I have not had similar experience. Most SAN
installs that I've worked on have mirrored disk, dual or better
interface cards as well as cabling so that there isn't just one path to
the drives. I have tried NAS setups that have failed badly, but
thankfully those were in a testing mode. Never trust a sales droid,
always push the "press-to-test" button.

Dick,
Here's where I think we need to make clear what defines "high
availability" versus what becomes "disaster recovery". Many sites
want/need both. In my dictionary, I define high availability as a system
that can tolerate a failure of a single component without affecting the
application availability.
The problem I have with that definition is the the HW duplicated is
not the HW most prone to failure - the storage.
