Hi all,
SBS 2003 SP2
Asus K8N-DL w/ 2 Opterons
Onboard RAID 1, NVidia 4 series
3ware RAID 5
All WD Raptors
I wanted to get some opinions on my situation. After recovering from a power failure today, my RAID 1 array is degraded and split, I see a C: and a D: drive in SBS. My plan is to replace both drives, they are on-hand.
BUT I'm not sure which drive is good and which is bad. There is no Windows utility, just the BIOS RAID setup. I was planning on formatting the D: drive in Windows so, the next time I shut down, I can unplug one drive and see if it boots. If not, I will swap cables. Once it boots into Windows, I will shut down, replace the orphaned drive, and rebuild. Thoughts? Thanks.
