Hey all, looking for some help with a Snap 520 with 4x1 TB drives in RAID 5. It's got a failed drive (no worries as there was a global spare) that I need to replace.
Short story is that I actually have an identical make/model 1TB hard drive to what is in the Snap, but it's not one of Overland's hot-swap drives. From what I can see online the hotswap drive is nothing but a hard drive in a sled... nothing like HP/Dell/etc's hot-swap drives for their servers.
For reference, here's the hot-swap drive: http://www.provantage.com/overland-s...0~7ADPE057.htm
Anyone know if I can just remove the failed drive from the sled, put my new one in and pop it back in?
I'm not sure if Overland modifies the drives or anything.. want to be sure. The unit is not at my location so I can't just go run and look at it.
Thanks!
