<br>
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? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
