I can't beleive your asking questions like this and using Raid 10.
This should help you.
http://www.acnc.com/04_01_10.html Have fun!
What exactly is your problem???
I am sorry that I am not as NERDY as you plainly are - its a simple question from a non-techie with a technical issue - is it insulting - is it derogatory - is it a stupid question - is it in the wrong forum - I dont think so.
If you have nothing positive to add - get lost, get a life and dont bother replying.
We are not all experts on this fab forum - if you are - congratulations to you - maybe you should be a bit more helpful to the rest of us IDIOTS!

I don't have a problem, I pointed you in the direction that would give you answers, so what is your problem?
My point is that your using a technology that should have been read about before implimented. Did you buy this system already Raided?
If you implimented it on your own system then surely you read up on it before hand?
I do the same with all Idiots and that is try to point them where there is help, I ain't an expert I just know where to find an answer.

Will you calm down? There was no trolling or personal attacks involved. I asked you a question and pointed you in the right direction.
Two of my raptors failed and I RMA'd them to WD. I opted for the advanced replacement option, which means once you obtain an RMA# you give them your credit card details and they ship you your replacement drive(s).
You have 30 days for them to receive your faulty drive(s) back otherwise they charge you for the new drives they posted to you.
Great service, think I had the two replacements within a week.

Calm down, he wasn't attacking you!
Raid 10 is one of the rarer raid levels, and it is unusual for someone to be using it without understanding how it works, based on this its fair to assume that you would understand the benefits and how to rebuild the array when it drops a disk.

Maybe I did need to put it into a calmer manner. I do appoligise. Anybody who uses raid atall would need atleast some understanding of what could be done when disks break.
It was implimented then atleast you should no what each raid level did. a lot of people use raid0 for performance but put no valuable data on this drive and maybe add a 3rd usb disk or something to backup all their information. But raid10..
I mean come on its not exactly easy to set up is it and surely you did your reading to what raid10 consists of? Like I said.. I do appoligise but some people on this forum take things with granted and just do it because it sounds good and other people have it...and I am not asshamed of saying that. My personal view.
The link I pointed you in had ALL the raid combinations with explinations of what it was and if it had redundancy and even how it worked. Thanks for listening though and thanks for biting my head off.
UPDATE . . .
Well my new HDD's turned up from OC!
removed the 1 faulty drive from my array and installed the new one - 30 mins later - all back to normal - no worries and no loss of ANY data - SIMPLE!
RAID 10 is absolutely right for me - redundancy and striping - I was also able to use the PC perfectly while waiting for the new HDD to arrive.
ALL PC data is valuable - even if you "just" have an OS on the RAID for speed etc - if you loose it - you are buggered!!!!
I have my 4 x Raptor HDD's in RAID 10 and do a synctoy to a RAID0 with 2 x WD750Gb's - the most data I could ever loose is a couple of hours worth at the most.
FOR ME - it all works perfectly.
