I've had 2 SSB's, 1 RE, 1 hard drive and 1 internal flash fail, also had
1 corrupted flash card. All this over the past year among a deployment
of ~40 M20s. I don't consider this bad at all, since it's been pretty
easy to diagnose and we have on site spares. Keep in mind that even with
the redundant hardware the router will need to reboot, usually requiring
2-3 minutes to come back up (note to Juniper: use a journaling file
system so we can skip the fsck on unexpected reboots). I highly
recommend the M20.
