A HD in my WD PR4100 32TB server took a crap - need advice
Hey all, seeking any advice from the many fine minded IT mavens here at the Barn.
I just noticed a red light is on the status indicator of drive number one (of four) slot of my server and was wondering what you would do to best alleviate a data disaster. A quick search showed a similar matching HD may be on back order from Chy-na and not available for a while. The chinks are probably pissed off at the busting of their balloon.
Should I just unplug the server and wait until I can install a replacement drive? I can live without it's availability short term.
I run it on a $130 or so APC UPS and see no problems reported there, no power issues lately AFAIK.
Here are some screen shots related to the issue, what do you think?
