We had a Black Armor NAS go tits up while rebuilding the array. Most of it was backed-up. Some of the folders had not been backed-up for a couple of months but it was better than a total loss.
The replacement is two Synology DS1513+'s that are separated by about half a mile and connected with 1Gbps fiber. They are configured for Raid-6 and using High Availability, they constantly mirror each other. They also support hot spares if you are made of money but we just went with 5 each 3gb WD Red drives. The only issues have occurred when a switch got fried. This results in "split brain" which required about a day and a half to rebuild the passive server.
