The battery on the controller just keeps the onboard memory active, the hard drives are powered down when the server is off. <br />
<br />
If cached data has not been written back to the drives, this occurs one they power up again.

Hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge R630 with 6 disks (2 virtual disks with 3 disks each, both RAID5). Controller is PERC H730P Mini <br />
One of tray caddy is broken, and I need to replace it.<br />
I could put disk in &quot;fail&quot; state and replace tray caddy.<br />
Since I can afford a downtime, I wondering if I can simply shutdown server, extract disk, replace tray, and power on again.<br />
Will controller raid &quot;notice&quot; anything?<br />
Thank you!

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.

RAID is data storage technology that allows multiple drives to be used together as a single virtual drive for reasons such as fault tolerance, reliability and performance. 

There are several different levels of RAID that determine how the data is stored and the level of redundancy achieved across the drives.

RAID

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
