Hi all,
first some history, i burn through an HD about once a year for the past 3-4 years, no idea why and thats an interesting question on its own but for another time. About a year ago my HD failed as usual and i replaced it under warranty, when i got the new HD i bought another identical model and setup a raid 1 array.
Drives: 2x 1TB WD Caviar Green (WDC WD10EARS-00Y5B1)
MB: Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P
Setup on a bios raid (Ctrl+F on startup)
2 days ago when i started my computer (after a normal shutdown) it told that one of the drives is crytical.
After windows loaded i started googling downloaded RaidXpert and started a rebuild (and googled some more) which is now at 94% (after ~50 hours).
Both drives are listed in RaidXpert as functional and SMART healthy.
Was this crytical just a glitch ? it got me really scared and im not entirely sure what to do.
Also "Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic" cant run while the array is set up, can i break the array, test each drive seperatly and reconstruct the array ? if so how would you suggest to go about this procedure.
