How about the far more regular crash case ? We may be pretty reliable but we are hardly indestructible especially on random boxes with funky BIOSes or low grade hardware builds.
For the generic sane low end server/high end desktop build with at least two drive software RAID the hardware failure for data loss case is pretty rare. Crashes yes, having to reboot to recover from a RAID failure sure but data loss far less so
