So I didn't expect anything funky when installing HDD Sentinel but I was wrong.Īccording to HDD Sentinel, two of my WD RE 2TB hard drives are at a critical low health status of 4% due to bad sectors. Windows Server 2012 R2 does report health status on hard drives that are a part of a Storage Pool and they are all reported as being Perfect / Healthy. Therefore I backuped all data and decided to download HDD Sentinel Pro 4.71 just to inspect my hard drives as they've been running 24/7 for years now and this is the perfect time to replace drives if some is bad. Mainly because I don't have enough ports and I need more storage so I will be splitting up my RAID and adding new drivers and ended up with ordering a LSI MegaRaid 9265-8i + Intel SAS Expander. I'm about to move back to hardware RAID after using Windows Spaces / Storage Pools in Windows Server 2012 R2 for a few years now.
