Degraded RAID Array
5. If a RAID array degrade this does not necessarily mean that the hard drive or any other hardware within the system is faulty. What it does mean is that there is an inconsistency in DATA across the array. This could be caused by many different factors including a BSOD, the system hanging, an application conflict or power outage.
As stated above, the degrade of a RAID array does not necessarily mean hardware failure but should the problem occur on a regular basis then further diagnostics should be performed/ undertaken. It is recommended, as with any system, that regular backups are mae to safeguard information.

6. If a RAID Array is degraded take note of the physical port number and the drive serial number of the degraded disk, which in Fig. 2 is highlighted with an error in red. The working drive is set to Member Disk (o) and is highlighted in green.
