Re: RAID cock-up

This is why you replace one drive in a RAID array after a year, while they are both still working. That way, the drive you just pulled out is a working one with all the right data on it, giving you a second chance. And then when the other one fails, the one from which everything now has to be restored with only one chance to get it right is still a year younger than it.
