Zorluk: OrtaStorage Drives and RAID Array Issues

A desktop system configured with a hardware RAID 1 array utilizing two 1 TB SATA SSDs exhibits severe latency during write operations. Storage diagnostic software shows that one drive is reporting a high count of reallocated sectors via S.M.A.R.T. monitoring, though the RAID status remains operational. Which of the following actions should the technician take to resolve the issue while protecting data integrity? (Select TWO).

  1. Perform a verified backup of all critical data residing on the array to an offline or secondary storage device.Cevap
  2. Replace the drive exhibiting S.M.A.R.T. errors with a new SSD of equal or greater capacity and initiate an array rebuild.Cevap
  3. C
    Format the drive reporting reallocated sector errors and convert the RAID 1 array to RAID 0 to increase performance.
  4. D
    Delete the RAID volume configuration in the controller utility and initialize both SSDs as standalone drive letters.

Cevap

The technician must back up critical array data to an external location and replace the failing SSD with a drive of equal or larger capacity to rebuild the mirrored volume.
When a drive in a RAID 1 array begins exhibiting S.M.A.R.T. predictive failure indicators such as excessive reallocated sectors, the safest approach is to create a complete secondary backup of all data first. Following data backup, replacing the failing drive with a healthy drive of equal or greater capacity allows the controller to rebuild the mirrored volume without risking data loss.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Secure array data before intervention
Recent changes and critical files are safely copied outside the RAID 1 volume.
If the remaining operational drive experiences stress failure during rebuilding, an external backup prevents total data loss.
2
Replace defective hardware and initiate rebuild
The degraded drive is swapped out for a healthy drive of matched or superior capacity, and mirror synchronization begins.
RAID 1 requires identical or larger replacement capacity to match block layouts and restore fault tolerance.
