C. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 arrays. The procedures below assume a
new drive is added to replace a failed drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array. (Note: The new drive must have equal
or greater capacity than the old one.)
For the Intel X79:
Turn off your computer and replace the failed hard drive with a new one. Restart your computer.
