Hi,
I have a nicely working RAID5 (8 200GB drives), so I'm not completely
new to this game...
However, I think I now have a failing system disk. I'm getting seek
errors/etc in syslog; however, smart tests complete without any problems.
Anyway, I am thinking of buying two new drives and making a RAID1 system
disk.
My failing disk is a Maxtor 80GB, and I am thinking of getting Western
Digital WD800JB (my 200's are all WD2000JBs) - though the warranty on
Western Digital is only one year (in my location). Any advice on choice
of drive?
What would the procedure be for moving the data off my Maxtor onto a
RAID1 of 2 WD800JBs?
Max.
