No SMART warnings, nothing. On Sunday the disk reported a clean healthcheck with 17970 hours of power-on time. ad2<\/tt> had 24195 hours reported in the same log file. I’d expect it to go soon, too.<\/p>\n

Thankfully ad0<\/tt> is one of the first two disks on a secondary pair of disks in the box which aren’t critical. I first copy backups to those disks then copy them from there down to my house each night. Having half of that mirror set gone isn’t horrible, but I’ll have to take care of it at some point.<\/p>\n

Maybe I’ll just throw one of the 320GB disks I have here on there in its place and finally get around to moving all my backup drives here internally. Time to check prices on new disks at Newegg I guess.<\/p>\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> For $120 I can get a 500GB Seagate<\/a> which would go nicely in my Mac Pro as a backup volume. I could then use one of the 320GB disks it would be replacing it as the hot backup in rowla.nuxx.net<\/tt>. I’d then have a spare 320GB I could leave attached to the Mac Pro via the FW800 enclosure, turned off, as an offline backup of photos.<\/p>\n

Or I can leave it and wait until the other half of the hotbackup<\/tt> mirror set (ad2<\/tt>) falls over. The replacement 500GB disk will probably be cheaper at that point and it’ll require no work to be done right now.<\/p>\n

This will be decided tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
