Hello all,
One of the dreaded Maxtor SATA drives in my RAID5 failed, after just 3 months of light use. Anyhow I neither have the disk capacity nor the money to buy it to make a backup. To make sure I do it correctly, could you folks please double-check my intended course of action? I would really appreciate that.
Failed how? I have tons and tons of Maxtor drives in service, and only one actually had a complete failure (verified by their utility, which is present on some bootable CD I got called "UltimateBootDisk").
Mike,
When one of my drives fails I test it with the Maxtor Powermax tool - it's this tool that is confirming that the drive(s) is(are) dieing.
The only saving grace is the three-year warranty.
