No, I understand that just fine. I should have been more specific - if I have a failure, it does its thing, great. But, I'd want to replace the failed drive so I'd have a hot spare again. That's the part I was asking about - you'd have to shutdown to replace that failed drive when it's convenient. Right? I've never touched a SATA anything in my life. -- "As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell." - Unknown
