RN316 disk randomly failed without warning
Just got the email message that my relatively new replacement disk in my 6 disk array failed.. Without warning or errors. Is there a way to see why it failed? Email notifification at 2:01pm and all...

Sometimes disks do fail without having zero values for the key SMART counts.
The possibility of disk failure is one of the reasons why backups are important. Yes, redundant RAID levels can provide some protection but they're not replacements for backups.
