Hi I'm super new to servers but I have a Poweredge T410 with 5670 dual processors/128gb of ram, H700 raid card, quattro P2000 and 6, 4TB Nas drives.  I am running the system with a copy of Windows 10 home. My question is since I do not have a the open source manager and am unable to use it due to my operating system, can anyone recommend any kind of software or tell me what to look for when and if a hard drive fails I have already purchased 2 backup hard drives to be able to swap in as soon as a failure was to happen, I'm not sure if I can set it one of them to be a backup/fail safe drive with all of my hard drive slots already populated, I am running RAID 6, so I think I'm ready to handle everything, mind you this is a home personal NAS, it's primary uses are storage, Plex and some video game servers. It does have a stand alone monitor connected incase I need to mess with bios and it is VNC enabled. I hope I provided enough details as of now she's chugging along just fine but I want to be able to monitor that one issue and hoped someone could help me with what I'm short on knowledge.  
How will I know if a hard drive fails
