I have a Studio XPS8100, which I purchased around March 2010.
The PC has 2x1TB drives in a raid 0 configuration.
3 times over the past couple of weeks, Intel rapid storage reported an error with one of the arrays. The last time this happened, Tuesday, I right clicked and it gave me the option to fix. Not convinced it did anything, a green tick immediately appeared.
At no time have I had any operational issues, other than these 3 reports. Yesterday I ran a chkdsk and no errors found.
Figured out they were Seagate drives, so I downloaded seatools for DOS. I ran the long test, on both drives. First drive fine but second drive had 2 errors-2 bad sectors. The short test will not run at all on disk 2.
Any advice? If I should replace the second drive, how should I do that given that it’s a raid 0 configuration.
Thanks
