Today I was greeted with a “Drive Failure(0)" alert as I booted up my main machine. Despite the warning, I booted up with no apparent issues. Curious, I started up the Intel Matrix Storage Manager to discover one of my four year old RAID drives was finally showing it’s age. I can only guess the error in question is a SMART alert signaling impending doom for one of my 4 drives. Daily backups from my home server eliminate any concern, so the mystery is afoot as to when it will actually fail. With SSDs still not affordable, I’ll probably just dial back to a 3 drive configuration and make due with 74GB less space.
