LaCie Professional Server
Technical Brief: RAID
In our example, Disk 1 was removed from its slot, becoming the
Missing disk in Windows Disk Management. If the 5big Storage
Server is restarted with the empty slot, Windows will assign new num-
bers to three of the five drives
✦ Disk 0 remains Disk 0
✦ Disk 2 becomes Disk 1
✦ Disk 3 becomes Disk 2
✦ Disk 4 becomes Disk 3
The Missing disk will remain on the list until it is manually removed
from Disk Management (9.2.1. Removing the Missing
Fig. 14
Slight confusion could occur when a replacement disk is inserted
into the empty slot after the 5big Storage Server reboots
b). While the slot once had a disk that Windows recognized as
1 (Fig. 10 and Fig. 11), that number is now taken by another drive
(Fig. 15, c).
