Unsure of as I have high hopes, but they didnt all go offline at the same time.  1 went last year or so, and 2 were in a solid amber state (solid amber light) and the 02 was in a flashing amber light state.  I was hoping to tiptoe until the hds got here sometime this week.  for all I know, it could have been in this state for the last month.  Will crack the system open and reseat, but may not get my hopes up yet.  Was there a firmware update to this as far as the backplane is concerned and will a firmware update help?
Hello! First time poster... Have a client with (believe it or not) 4 failed hard drives out of 7. 1 was a global spare that was obsorbed into the RAID5.  RAID5 has 4 drives.  2 Failed. RAID1 has 2 hard drives, 1 failed. The client didnt notice the amber light on the front, and I was onsite when I discovered 3 were out and 1 was ready to go.  We ordered new HDs which we are now waiting for. The question is, can I replace a single drive to each of the arrays (separately, of course) and rebuild?  The OS is stable on the single surviving RAID, so I believe I should be able to add a hard drive to it when they come in and be successful. Now, for the other.  The RAID5 has 2 surviving HDs.  Can I add one and recover to a 3 disk, then add the 4th to be whole again?  is that at all and even remotely possible?  I have a T610 tower w hot swap drives.  Thanks.
2 out of 4 RAID5 Failed?
