      Predictive failure is not failure. Replace one at a time. to give the RAID card the most power to work on the individual resilver.

      in my experience - you never replace more than one drive at a time...

      Ask me how I know.

        individual resilver.

        Does this mean that the mileage is only applied to the new drive or it's just minimal in relation to the rest of the raid? Reason I ask is I always thought this put a lot of strain on the entire raid.

          That's very interesting. I have not really had to deal with drive failures actually.

            I haven't kept up with the number of drive failures I have had over nearly 30 years. In all of my personal systems, I think I have had one.

            Work related,.. maybe all of three.

              Some information I am reading says I need to take the drive "offline" first, is this true?

              PowerEdge R720.

                @aaronstuder What raid controller do you have?

                  I'm assuming @JaredBusch's qualifier of "Predictive failure is not failure" means that the could possibly change if this were a failed drive?

                    Wow, that's pretty small.

                    Personally, I've probably lost 3-4 drives. In businesses - well over 10.

                    And Scott has probably seen hundreds fail. Of course it all boils down to how many systems you see/support.

                      Your footprint is pretty small though so I think that's a pretty big number for you

                        Predictive failure is usually a report from SMART about the drives. It means that something isn't kosher.

                          We have one or two fail every two-three months. Nothing crazy.

                            Remember, I used to be a consultant like JB - so I have a larger exposure than a single man SMB person.

                                  A few hundred for now. Should be under 100 at the end of summer.

                                    Predictive failure is not failure. Replace one at a time. to give the RAID card the most power to work on the individual resilver.

                                    in my experience - you never replace more than one drive at a time...

                                    Ask me how I know.

                                    That's very interesting. I have not really had to deal with drive failures actually.

                                    I haven't kept up with the number of drive failures I have had over nearly 30 years. In all of my personal systems, I think I have had one.

                                    Work related,.. maybe all of three.

                                    Wow, that's pretty small.

                                    Personally, I've probably lost 3-4 drives. In businesses - well over 10.

                                    And Scott has probably seen hundreds fail. Of course it all boils down to how many systems you see/support.

                                    We have one or two fail every two-three months. Nothing crazy.

                                    How many drives do you have?

                                    A few hundred for now. Should be under 100 at the end of summer.

                                    What are you guys changing to reduce that number by that much?

                                        so you're losing around 1.5% of your drives per year... that seems a bit high, but my memory for the norm as published by google could be off. Plus your environment might not be as good as theirs.

                                          individual resilver.

                                          Does this mean that the mileage is only applied to the new drive or it's just minimal in relation to the rest of the raid? Reason I ask is I always thought this put a lot of strain on the entire raid.

                                          WTF? This is a nothing more than a single mirror pair. The "strain" here is only a copy operation. The least possible work.

                                          The point of individual is because something like this is processed 100% by the CPU on the RAID card. So don't make it do more than one thing at a time.

                                          A parity array is different.

                                            @aaronstuder What raid controller do you have?

                                            Exactly this. A real SMB system should be a hot plug. But we have no idea what you bought.
