    In my Sager 9262, which has 3 hard drives in RAID 0, which one physically drive 1 (out of drive 0, 1, 2)? I'm starting to get a RAID array warning saying drive 1 is going bad and I want to swap it out.

    i had the warning as well and replaced the drive via warranty. it is the reason i went to raid 5 as i could not afford to lose family photos and video, and work data. you will take a serious performance hit in write speeds but for me it is worth it.

    anyway, best thing to do is check which serial number is going bad by viewing the error on your raid driver software that should be installed. you can also check the serial number on the faulty drive from the bootup raid menu. then open up the drive bays and check which drive it is.

    I checked the owners manual before I posted this. It only refers to them as the 'first, second, and third' hard drives and does not indicate which drive is designated as drive 0, 1 and 2 by the Intel RAID matrix.
    Thanks Argh, that worked great.
