Why keep drives you aren't confident about? I'd let them go back. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Now that I have re-built my array (with the remaining 3 drives), started a new raid, and built another OS, should I now go back and re-check the 2 suspect drives again? The plan is to try and add them as "hot spares" to the current array. If they act as they did before, I'd accept that they are truly DOA. But, if they act properly now with a working array and slide into my array as "hot spares", I'd have to suspect pilot error and keep the drives around; even if suspicious about them............... :) Thanks, Duncan
