Questions

Quick answers.

  1. Why label each drive with its bay?

    The array is rebuilt from all its drives together, in the order they sat in. Leave each drive in its bay until it is labelled, and do not put back a drive that dropped out.

  2. Should I send only the failed drive?

    No. Send every drive from the array, including any marked failed or removed earlier.

  3. Is my draft stored anywhere?

    A saved draft stays in this browser only. Clear removes it.

What not to do before the drives come out

Do not swap in a new drive and let it rebuild, accept an initialise or create prompt, or run a repair wizard. Each one writes to the drives that need to be imaged. Do not plug the drives into a PC one by one: a single member is not a readable volume on its own, and Windows may offer to initialise it.
