SCSI drive replacement RAID
i have a RAID 1 configured on a HP windows 2003 server. there is an HP application that manages the RAID. this manager shows a failing drive, i used the blinking light test to identify the drive. there is a picture of it.
can you help identify the drive and let me know where i can purchase one from?
Thanks.

i'm from Aus so a little hard to point you in the direction of the local computer shop. Amazon or Ebay should be fine.
If you drill down through the management software it should tell you what the raid setup is.
it will say it there somewhere.
as there are 3 drives and 2 partitions (O/S + DATA) it appears to be raid 5.

actually the logical drives shows data - 139GB (maybe this is raid1)
OS - 139GB (this is possibly standalone disk, no raid) - dangerous
look through the properties and the drop downs, it should confirm the raid setup.
