Support
If you are experiencing
a hard disk failure, please use one of the following links to arrange
for a replacement directly from the manufacturer. This is the fastest,
most effective way to get a defective hard disk replaced, since
the manufacturers keep most every model in stock anytime.
When contacting
the hard disk manufacturer, please do not reference the fact that
your hard disk drive is part of a RAID storage solution, as this
will only delay the replacement process. Most hard disk manufacturers'
customer service reps do not understand RAID storage technology
and may ask you to run tests on your defective hard disk, in order
to convince themselves that you have a problem disk.
Therefore, please
mention that your drive is "not spinning up" for immediate
replacement without having to run unnecessary tests.
Use these links
to go directly to the manufacturer's support pages, or call the
appropriate support number.
