Hello Schoondoggy
Thank you for your explanation on how you would use the CP086 concept product. In terms of notification of drive failure, if this concept product is similar to our other hardware RAID products, there would be a LED indication of the drive that has failed As for operation while a drive has failed, it would just rollover to the working drive, as the computer would just see a single drive for the RAID array, whether both drive are working or just a single one.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts on our concept products, feel free to send us a message.
