OTOH, I had a perfectly good drive get kicked out of my RAID-1 array a fewyears ago just because, well, I guess I could say "it felt like it".

I've seen that too several times on my home "server".

Once in a while (usually on one of the first days I'm on vacation) one of the drives stops responding.

A shutdown and cold restart is necessary to bring the drive alive again, just a reboot won't fix it.

After this, I rebuild the RAID partitions and all is OK.

smartctl shows no sign of problems with the drive, so I suspect a controller problem.

This is on a desktop machine used as a server.

I guess this explains why we have server grade hardware :-)
