I wish you luck in keeping the disks running that long. ;)
3 x 1 power supplys and high output fans. These are the same units I sell through Solera Networks (I am using the same manufacture I contracted with for Solera), They are installed with Wikipedia instead of solera networks software (forensics tracking software is optional), and these units seem to go for about 4 years before needing hard drive swapouts in only 2 % of cases. The massive airflow keeps the drives cool and they seem to go over 48 months before I start to see any sector failure issues even in the most severe writing cases (which DSFS the file system I wrote for Solera is extremely write intensive).
