Hiya,


I've got my first almost real server. It's running W2k3 server, and has two
SATA disks which are configured as a RAID 1 mirror by the OS - no
additional controller software or nothing. Works fine, but I was wondering
how I'll be able to tell if one disk goes down? I suppose I could test it
by yanking the plug on one of the drives, but will that break the drive?
The box is not yet running anything too important, but it will have a lot
of documents and backups and stuff like that, so I'd rather make sure it
really survives a disk crasch before it's fully operational.

Thanks-o.
