We just replaced a super eagle that died (in the past week).
This drive was acquired last summer (august 1986).
The word that I was given by our Systems Industries repair person is:
1.  Fujitsu is aware of the problem and working on it.
2.  It is not fixed, so replacements will probably fail in the same way.
3.  There is no word available on when the problems will be solved.

If I had it to do over I would go with eagles, rather than super eagles.
P.S.
Many thanks to the net and especially Don Seeley who posted the summary
of 2361 problems.  This prompted me to quickly rearrange our system
so that the root and /usr file system were on our eagle and not the
super eagle where they had been.  This made it much easier to recover
when the supereagle died.  I got everything switched about 1 week before
the supereagle started dying.
