A few years ago I had a 12 disk RAID6 array and the power distributor (the bit between the redundant PSUs and the rest of the system) went and took 5 drives with them, lost everything on there. Backup is absolutely essential but if you can't do that for some reason at least use RAID1 where you only lose part of your data if you lose more than 2 drives.
