Which drive is bad?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Maybe an obvious question, but not to me. One of my DSR6000 with 2x80GB Maxtors is exhibiting all the symptoms of a failing drive - stopples, pauses, etc. after 5 months use. What is a reasonable way to detect which drive is the bad one (or maybe both are - but unlikely), so I can restore/bless and get it going again? Thanks.

Maxtor has a diag program on it's web site that should do the trick for you. You will need to move the drive to your PC.

Actually, I was hoping some Tivo log might indicate what drive it was having problems with. My experience is that Powermax passes a number of drives that Tivo stutters on. Thanks.
