[Skillett.com] Backup Space - The minefield just got bigger! | Skillett.com: However, in terms of reliability I found hard drives to be the least reliable component in a server (fast SCSI drives ran hot) followed by cooling fans, processers (the two kind of go together like a “horse and carriage”) and power supplies so my “typical” server would have a redundant power supply ready to kick in should the primary fail and at least a 4 disk RAID array although hard drives were smaller so a 5 or 6 disk array was more common with one of the disks being an online spare so in the event of one drive failing the online spare would automatically kick-in, the array would self-rebuild and the server monitoring software would send the sysadmin a notification. Then SMART (Self Monitoring and Analysis Reporting Technology) came in and the server was then able to actively monitor the health of the disks and give advance warning of disk failure, allowing preventative maintenance to take over., the sysadmin receiving warning of failure and then swapping out the disk before failure.
