[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 344815, member: 1"] I've spent the better part of the day diagnosing and trying to recover my main computer. I woke up to a windows recovery program prompting me and then slowly started to realize that clicking sound wasn't going to go away. The part that sucks is the drive that failed is an SAS drive in a RAID 0 array with another drive. I know, shouldn't have done that to begin with. It makes things a little more complex for trying to recover data. One drive it probably fine, but I can't use it until I attempt to recover that data. Luckily I have most of the files on the drive backed up, but I fear there are some that didn't make it. I have an external drive with backups as well. I ordered one of these: [url=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009NB8WRU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B009NB8WRU&linkCode=as2&tag=nikonites-20&linkId=5JBMU4APKVKFQSOH]Amazon.com: Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 256 GB SATA 6GB/s Solid State Drive MZ-7PD256BW: Computers & Accessories[/url] and it'll be here tomorrow. [B]!#@$!#@$ I just realized the price dropped $15 in the last 5 hours. GRRR! [/B] [/QUOTE]
