Hi there i have built my own pc with 2 hdd in raid now i set it up all fine. was fine for ages used it as my main storage and for things i did not want filling up[ my ssd. i have my os on the ssd. after a few weeks one hdd played up i thought i was going to have to send it back but then i got it back in raid and it was ok until now. SMART keeps flagging it up, so i don't know whether i should send it back and get a replace meant and when i get the new one how do i put it in raid 1 with the existing hdd with out loosing data as i got my steam account on there so it not as simple as backing it up as if you move that you have to start again and re down load it all and that. i want to know how to re install this hdd into raid 1 and give it another chance as its saying its offline as the signature clashes. it shows up in the smart menu as non raid along with the other one now its really starting to annoy me. any advice will be a great help hope i have explained myself thanks
