Interesting issue and part of me says keep it, it works. Part of me says throw it, its broken<br><br>I have a 6U Dual Xeon 2.8 server, 2 GB RAM, Dual Gig NICS and half a TB of SCSI disk space.<br><br>Now one of the disks failed. I replaced it with a new one. However it is not the disk that is failed. It is the backplane slot that has failed. Now if I put the disk in one of the spare slots, it works. It has two volumes, a mirrored one of 73 GB that works fine, and the "broken" half TB one.<br>
<br>However in my mind its broken. For a core machine to have a physical failure of this nature, it doesn't sit easy. It is also well out of warranty.<br><br>I have just been told to replace it. What would you chaps do ?<br>
