Mac OSX Server on Xserve, Major problems

HI guys, We have just purchased 3 nice new shiny dual processor Xserves. Look nice, smell nice but im having a nightmare getting it to stop crashing.

All has been fine for a few months, we set it up as password server, connected a 500GB SCSI Hardware raid to it and are sharing off the files for both apple and PC.

Now the disk has gotten to about 400GB full and thrown a wobbly. B-tree errors and 200GB of files just vansihed. Norton utilities has retrieved it and Ive backed all the data up to a spare Raid.
Now i want to copy that data to my other xserve but it gets to about 200gb and crashes, ive tried drag and drop, using a mirroring program, a Realbasic app and crossing my fingers and toes.

To be honest im worried about running a server that crashes while being copied to. Its a major crash too. Grey screen with writing in 4 languages.

Im now using HFS+ journaled (was using no journaled before).

Any ideas would be great.

Richy

Sounds like a bad RAID card or bad HD to me.
