Nasty red light came up on one of the Toshibas in my Promise Pegasus R4.

Makes me sad.

Fortunately, I had it configured as a RAID array, so when the replacement arrives tomorrow, I should be able to throw in the new drive and have it rebuild all the data.

Hopefully.

Hooray for me.

Although I am down ~$100, I am pretty happy.

1 out of my 4 drives failed, but even so, the Pegasus kept chuffing along, until I had time to go and get a new drive. After throwing the new drive in and couple of clicks (and several hours) later, my RAID array is back up, and all my little leds are blue again, the nasty red one banished.

I know I should do more backing up, archiving, etc. but knowing that I have a degree of (pretty cheap and easy) redundancy built into my operational set-up does bring me some comfort.
