I have seen countless hardware issues, power failures, disk
corruption, you name it. I have been able to recover data to the
point of faiure in most cases either from backup or Exch has recovered
itself via soft recovery.. When I havent, its been because of my own
mistakes or something not related to Exch at all.

Whatever you are testing, it must not be realistic, common or valid
or it I suspect the newsgroups would be full of others encountering
the same issue.
