its on a small business computer

More about : raid problem array

I just went into "view Drive Assignments and it said for Drive mode 3 and then go down to number 3 and under "Assigment" it says LD 3-3 ON all the other drives it says under the "Assigment" it says SINGLE DISK.
So is this a bad hard drive?
tks

Well we got most of the data recovered with some software off the net, cost 40 dollars. some companies wanted from 2 to 4 thousand dollars.
Now im looking at the back up machine called Drobo back up. Any one use it. Or im going to go with 4HD and use it as JOBOD. I have tried raid 5 once and that was ok Did have a hd break and replaced it and everything was fine, and raid 10 and that was the worst, almost lost every thing.
good luck to all
