Don't rely on the LED going on. I mark all my hot swap disks with
labels with their serial number. This label is visible from the
outside without removing the HD.
That way, I can double check that I remove the faulty disk.
Pulling the wrong disk is the last thing you want to risk in a RAID
setup. Relying on a fault LED is close to that.
Also make a list of the HD serial numbers and their position within
the RAID in time. Store that in a safe place.
I pulled ONCE the wrong disk out of a Raid5 array. :-(
You know what that means?
best regards
