  • Drive degraded with Atto R380

    Posted by Robert Torrance on October 25, 2007 at 10:47 pm

    I’m testing an atto R380 with proavio 8 drive array in raid 0 (will switch to 5 for job next week). Its been running for a month without a problem then suddenly I have one drive in degraded status. Now I don’t see the array on the desktop. Is the drive toast or is their a way to get it back (and maybe the data)? I know what failed is but don’t know about degraded in raid 0. Thanks in advance.

    it’s RAID 0
    if a drive is in fault status the entire array goes down.

    I guess I meant is degraded the same as failure.

    Thanks

    Thanks”

    The ProAvio is the Maxx Digital Unit we’re running here as well and there’s really no reason to run that in anything other than RAID 5. As you have learned, RAID 0 loses the entire array if any drive in the unit fails.

    If you run RAID 0, you MUST run some sort of a backup drive like we used to do with our LaCie 2TB FW800 Backup drive.

    If the drive is only degraded, you might be able to save it by making an exact copy, and plugging the new drive into your RAID system. Of course, this assumes you can still read the degraded drive.

    If it was only a test and you didn’t lose any important data, then just call it a good lesson learned.
