Ask HN: Experience with Hetzner?

I am considering going for a dedicated server from Hetzner (http://www.hetzner.de/). They seem to offer some really good deals. However, I stumbled on a HN thread [1] where quite a few were talking about frequent hard-disk problems.

Does anyone here host stuff on Hetzner? Would you recommend their dedicated server offering (especially the lower-end plans)?

    I've got 4 dedicated root servers at Hetzner for some years now. They've been quite worth their money. Regarding the HD-issue: just recently one of my servers got an issue but that's also the first time since ever, plus if you're having a RAID it's just a matter of contacting the support. Running on dedicated hardware always comes with such risks, I'd say..
