Just purchased an ASUS p8z68-v pro motherboard.
I am preparing to install two hard drives in raid 1 configuration. I will use the motherboard built in raid capability.
The only question I cannot find is how will I know if one drive has failed and needs replacement?
I called ASUS and they said if one drive fails in raid 1, the operating system will stop working and I will have to look at led lights on the mobo to see which one failed.
I thought the whole point of raid 1 mirroring was not only preservation of my data, but also that the system continued to run since I still hard a working drive with all my data.
appreciate your help
