RAID 5 REBUILD OPTIONS

2 HDD on-line, 1 HDD Failed. If the failed drive will be changed by a new HDD and rebuild it, Are the DATA on the 2 working HDD will be affected?

Good morning,

As long as the drive rebuilds successfully, your data should be safe on the other 2 drives. Once the array has rebuilt successfully, make sure you have a good back up of your data. An array should not be considered a backup for data, but stored outside the array on tape or network area storage array.

Regards,
