Hi. My server's PSU died recently. During the downtime I tried to take two workstation PSUs and get the box back up, but after running for a minute 4 drives fell off the array so I shut it down and waited for the real one to come in the mail.
Got here today and just installed it. However, the alarm sounded shortly after starting up with 2 drives having failed I replaced the one and it's rebuilding now. The configuration is Areca ARC-1160ML2 driving 16 WD 1TB drives in RAID6. I'm now in the danger zone, if I lose another drive before this gets done rebuilding I'm hosed.
I was thinking about replacing the other failed drive awhile, but was unsure if I should since the controller is presently rebuilding the first failed drive I just replaced. Should I wait, or can I just replace the other one and let it rebuild both at once to save time?
Thanks!
