Maybe look for non-HDD related drive volume hardware issues. Poor cabling
or dodgy power supply maybe. I have seen a noisy PSU generate intermittent
problems with several HDDs at once.
Our server has three disks - one for the system and two disks setup as
RAID 1 array for our data.
We have 652 bad sectors now being reported for the data drive in
Windows. CHKDSK has been run with the /R switch, so I think the bad
sectors are now identified and marked as 'do not use'.
Can we / should we ignore this now, and just monitor that the bad
sector count doesn't increase?
The RAID 1 is via Dell hardware, so I am unsure how to tell which disk
is the faulty one (or in RAID 1 are the bad sectors on both?!).
I guess I can physically remove one disk and run CHKDSK against them in
turn, but in doing this will I destroy the integrity of the RAID 1?
