They are.

What they handle less well is when a drive's SCSI interface decides to 
send garbage over the SCSI link, thwarting communication with all the 
other drives.

What it also doesn't handle is when two drives simultaneously die.

And, finally, it doesn't survive if the controller itself malfunctions.

I'm not sure if I've got two broken drives or one broken RAID 
controller, but I can't get any sense out of the thing right now.
