[labnetwork] HDD Best Practice

[Martin, Michael]

Hi Long,
    Yes, we use the drive clone method instead of RAID.  We clone the drive and then put the clone in the computers as sometimes there are clone glitches.

Regards,
  Michael

Hi All,

Yesterday we experienced a HDD failure for our AFM. This event should have been prevented by the Raid Mirror with 2 HDD. Our setup where we just have a single working drive and a spare backup clone has been more successful. We are planning to move away from Raid Mirror. Anyone has expertise/experience here they can share?

Thanks,
