>>I have a server with 2 x 500Gb drives in a RAID configuration. I am not sure what RAID config it is as these are rented servers. The 2 drives mirror each other and I would assume that the server is supplied as much "stock standard" as possible. The server has been operational for 6+ years and has worked fine.

On a 6 years old server (if used continously/more than sparingly) I'd create a backup to USB and switch over to a new pair of drives...
