RAID 10 . . .

[khushy]

I have a RAID 10 setup with 4 x 150Gb RAPTORS!

One of them seems to have failed - can I simply change the failed drive (like 4 like) and then rebuild the RAID????

Cheers . . .

I can still use the PC and have ordered a replacement and a spare!!!

Whats the chances of an RMA on a Raptor c1.5 years old?

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.

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.
