We are an IBM shop and use only IBM servers from our PC based servers (290 servers throughout the USA) up to AS/400's and a ton of AIX. We accidentally let the maintenance on one of our PC-based servers lapse. We had a memory failure in one. IBM charged us for the tech to come out and $4k later we had new memory.

I have a lot of experience with drives in raid arrays and, in high traffic situation, they burn out *fast*.
Always contact the manufacturer of the drive. They'll check the date of manufacture by the serial number and they're excellent about honoring warranties. No need to go to the OEM the computer was purchased from.
