Do you have it set up with a RAID? If not, and you want one, you have, unfortunately, I think, Intel "fakeRAID" (yes, that's googleable, easily). I was going to use it a couple of years ago, and after the aggro I had, gave up, turned it off, and set up Linux's software RAID (md), and it works *very* well. In fact, a couple months after I turned it up on one user's servers, a disk failed. I had no trouble identifying the disk, breaking the mirror, replacing it, and it rebuilt it nicely. mark
