Yeah. But why would that have anything to do with it? The drive
obviously failed.

WTF, is this fail Thursday? The HDD in my office PC went tits up

spin up. OMG. Swapped the board out from another identical drive.
Hey, it's detected now! Nope, clink, clank and it spins down.
250GB WD RE4 that ran for 5 or 7 years straight. I forget when I
built that machine. I had most of the stuff on it except for some
scripts and config files and a few really old pictures that are
kind of irrelevant now anyway. Oh well.

Software Storage FTW. (ZFS, Ceph, GlusterFS, etc)

Well, RAID is obsolete. You shouldn't even be running RAID
controllers with ZFS, only HBAs. The file system is far more
intelligent and capable than a hardware controller.

If it is for network attached storage I would recommend
against hardware
raid and use btrfs or zfs. I have to many issues with
corrupted raid
information on drives. The advances with these file systems
make raid
almost obsolete.

have one server with Adaptec RAID but the place I ordered it
from now seems to only carry LSI, not sure why. Some of
those cards can throw off a lot of heat and adding fans to
the chassis may make sense, especially if it's a 1U server,
many servers don't have all the fans populated by default
and adding 1-2 more may not cost much.

1. The motherboard has the ICH9R controller which can do
Raid1, but it looks like the monitoring software isn't
compatible with Windows
