Say you have a Raid 1 array of 2 drives...

You unplug one of these drives for say one month.

Then you plug it back in.

How does the controller know which drive is the "good" one and which is the one that needs rebuilding?

It must keep some sort of "last used timestamp" against the drive serial number? And then it would know which drive is the good one?
