Dumb question: these machines are getting very long in the tooth, but you're putting SSD's in them? New, or newer machines, would
solve a lot of problems....
Their warrantees are good for another few years... And the money is not :)

One of the main things that pushed us to surplus ours was interesting: inside of a month, 4? 5? more? of them had the PERC fail, fatally. Amazing quality control (and they were in about three different rooms, including one or more in the datacenter, so it wasn't the environment).
Refurbed machines are also an option....
