I just checked and osgeo3 has no failed drives (currently). However,
osgeo4 has one failed drive in a RAID6 and if you'd like to replace it, it
seems like it's going to be fairly cheap [1]. This should be an exact
replacement. If you do plan on replacing it, you should buy 2-3 more just
in case others fail.

Do you have any idea when you'll be wrapping the migrations up?

Thanks-

Question, at ~$30 do we want to buy 2 or 3, 3 being 1 extra?
If I recall OSGeo3 has 146 GB drives. My understanding is you can use
bigger drives, the raid just won't fill the space beyond the match to
the other drives.
I think the idea behind buying extra is that this type of drive may
become rare soon. It is a 9 year old SAS model.

Thanks,
Alex
