well I had this twice, the first drive I caught before it died entirely. The last one died with no warning. I have a double drive backup now so if anything does happen i will have something I can sinc with. if all else fails I have the old semi broke drive I know I can recover everything from again if I really need to. I still did lose a bit. it was all my backups though in my case I think I probably would have got the data back as the data areas were good, after trying to replace the supply it looked like a flash board failier which was the issue.
