I don't know about DL385 or DL585, but DL380 seem to go south within
1 year of heavy hitting; precisely the Smart Array RAID controllers
(4 out of 6 disks suddenly "red"; insert new disks, ooops red as
well).
I've seen this happen several times, and came away with a conclusion
that DL380 is sexy, but you don't want to marry it. Then again,
maybe the DL385 is different, though I seem to remember that both
G3 (Smart Array 5i) and G4 (6i) did this.
