We've never had a single system crash or failure on our postgres servers, and some of them are well-used and with uptimes in excess of a year. It may be anecdotal, but LSI MegaRAID cards generally seem to work pretty well with Linux. The only problem I've ever seen was a BIOS problem between the LSI and the motherboard, which was solved by flashing the BIOS on the motherboard with the latest version (it was grossly out of date anyway).
