I just noticed a problem on my server; the indicator for one of my hard drives and the server status indicator are blinking yellow.
However, the server is functioning normally. The drives are in RAID.
I would like to know how to address this so that the server doesn't crash with data loss.

    Hello
    it seems that this HDD is on its way to failing or has already failed... Check the storage capacity against the original.
    You haven't mentioned what type of RAID is deployed.
    Otherwise, it seems the disk needs to be replaced... The RAID should be doing its job.

      Thank you very much for your response. I am using a RAID 5, with a total of 7 disks of 1 terabyte each, so the usable capacity is 6 terabytes. I just checked and I still have the 6 terabytes in operation, so the RAID has taken over.
