Subject: Thank heavens for mirrored drives?
>This morning I was awakened by my beeper telling me that one of our

passed

>After resisting the costs of setting up a RAID 1 system for some time, we
>took the plunge about 6 months ago and installed 2nd drives in our
primary
>machines. We used the standard NT disk mirroring, since RAID 1 seems to
>introduce very little overhead.

>Anyway, it was a simple matter to pull the bad drive, change the ID and
>termination on the other drive and reboot. We were up in less than an
hour,
>including diagnostics etc.

>Just a push for those considering doing something similar.
