(Sorry if you already saw the question on the previous > posts) Dianne, If you feel you must test the functionality of the ability of the RAID1 to recover from a failed drive, the power down, remove drive, boot, power down, replace drive, boot process will test the ability of the system to re-sync the drives. A more rigorous test would be to zero out the partition table of the removed drive, or to use a new blank drive to test the recovery; however, what I think Karanbir meant by "silly" is that all these tests simply confirm that the RAID is working as designed. If it doesn't, then you should have bought different hardware to start with. Phil
