Thanks Doc.  It's rebuilding at the moment.  This thing looks like it has
two different kind of drives.  I dare question, but how do you know which
one I have?

I'm thinking I'd like to buy a spare just in case.

If it is FAILED then you can try to go into Service tools then work with 
disk units then work with disk unit recovery. Now select Rebuild Disk 
Unit Data.  That might work but the chances are the disk was 'voted off 
the island'.

If it's really dead then you'll need another (which I have a lot of. :-) 
) or you can simply run down a drive on the RAID set.... until #2 fails 
and then yer toast.
