3. If a hard drive fails, the drive position will be indicated on

the LCD panel, the LED on the failed drive will flash and the

GUI will also report the failed drive and its position.

If the G-SPEED was configured in a protected RAID

mode the data on the array will be safe, however, the

array is now in an unprotected state* and a further

drive failure will result in loss of the array and the data

it contains. The system can be fully restored to fail-

safe mode by replacing the failed disk drive module

drive and rebuilding the array. If you purchased a

spare drive with your G-SPEED simply replace the

failed drive with your spare. The G-SPEED will

automatically rebuild the RAID in the background –

while you continue to work.

Rebuild times vary depending on the RAID level and

size of the unit.

*If G-SPEED was initialized in RAID 6 mode, data would still be

protected as RAID 6 can withstand two simultaneous drive failures.
