That just means you're using sucky hardware.  We've been using h/w
controllers for 15 years, and never had a problem.

Of course, they are proprietary, and from a Tier 1 vendor, cost a
lot of money, and maintenance fees are high.

But we've never lost data from a controller failure.  (And damned
little loss from any other reason, either, since there's a 24x7
admin staff that pays attention to drive failure lights, and
replaces them immediately.)
