My M17XR4 crashed :-/

I turned it on today and it flashed a blue screen after log in then this screen came up at reboot.


After I put in the reboot disk this came up.



Can anyone help please?

Hi there, well it seems your raid volume (or one of the drives in it) has failed. What I would try is to reset to non-raid and then try to set them up again.

Good luck.

 

Good idea, just did it and then tried to reformat it to Raid 0 to no avail. I'm guessing one of my hard drives is toast since it only recognizes half of my 1.5TB memory?

Yes, looks like one drive is dead.

 

What should I replace it with? The same thing? Or do you guys know of anything special?

I can't help since I've never tested out dual HDD raid's so I don't know the limitations .

If you just want the 1.5 tb single drive then get one the same size is all I can say...

Edit :Have you thought about putting in an SSD since you have to spend? Might be a better investment

 

250GB Samsung 840 EVO's are only $134.99 on Amazon.com. They're like ... 6x faster than an HDD? You can still keep your current HDD and use it for storage.

You should use this combo: 250GB SSD primary + 750GB HDD storage. It will change everything...

 

And to add, if you get an MSATA SSD you still have a spare bay for another 750 later - bit more work to put it in though
