You're probably better off going quite a bit longer than that between
replacements. Believe me, there are two ends of a bath tub. They
gave me a new Dell (hmm, maybe there is a common thread here) on my
first day. The disk drive died that afternoon and I lost a couple of
days work (couldn't get it replaced right away). It could have been
far worse though.

Actually, with RAID, I can just let one of the drives fail, and pop in
a new one when it does. No panic.


How do you know which is the bad one?

If a drive is bad it complains at bios/boot time. We're running XP,
which unfortunately doesn't have the online RAID utilities, but the
bios seems to do everything we really need.
