Well a not so nice suprise awaited me for when I booted up my PC this morning, got a warning that one of the drives on my raid controller had failed, figured not a big problem i’ll just swap it for another drive unfortunately it wasn’t as simple as that.

Turns out that 3 of my 4 drives had all failed, one had a serious problem that it couldn’t have anything installed on it, some strange error popups on the screen when booting cant remember what it was now, and I think the other 2 had delayed write errors.

Still I am now back up and running the 3th drive I had worked fine still, so I reinstalled everything all over again, popped in the faulty drive and luckily I managed to get most of my stuff off that drive it took a fair few hours tho sadly.

Seeing as I bought the drives from ebuyer and they was 1 month short of a year old, I submitted an RMA ticket and off they went back to ebuyer and just today I got 3 brand new hard drives, which I was quite pleased about they did find the 3 drives I sent back faulty and they honoured the 1 year warranty on the drives.
