Raid 5 Health Status

by bernard.nelson . Updated 21 years, 8 months ago

We are currently running Raid5 with 3 hard drives. How can you check the status of the drives to make sure that one of them is not failing. In Disk Manager, it shows that the drive is Healthy. Does this mean that all three of the drives are OK? Currently our storage only has 2% free on the “D” drive. The server will just shut down on it’s own. I am not sure if we have a bad hard drive or the storage is shutting the server down. Is it possible to add another drive of the same size and type to the array to add additional storage space?
