That certainly can be a problem, but it is also a function of the 'RAID card' (or chipset), and , as far as I can tell from the experience of other people, the suppliers who do professional RAID for a living and have been doing this for some time, are better than the 'el-cheapo' solutions.

Can someone recommend a good brand and specific disks that you've had experience with?

No, but I would definitely look for the word 'enterprise' on the disk drive and an extended warranty, as these tend to be warrantied for 24x7 operation, where 'consumer' quality drives do not.
