I've read conflicting views on whether it's safe to pull either or both the
SATA data cable or power cable from a disk in an array (when they are NOT in
a hotswap cage) to test whether things works as expected during a real life
disk failure.
Is there a consensus on this? Theoretically either should be handled by the
controller (a 3ware 9500s) since this is a real life possibility, but will
either event cause damage to the disk? I'd suspect that removal of the data
cable would simulate a disk loss with less physical trauma to the disk in
question.
