RE: Disk Failure UPDATE

["Andy Nolen-Parkhouse" <aparkhouse@xxxxxxxxx>]

James,

What you are doing with the disk configuration (putting all your drives,
including the load source, in a RAID set) is the default configuration
for a model 170.  You will be protected against the failure of any
single drive.  This is the way they generally ship from the factory and
most folks don't change this.

It sounds like a nice box, and certainly a powerful replacement for your
model 200.

Regards,
Andy
