Well, that just in case (from yesterday) just paid off. I'd copied all the files off the RAID drive onto other local discs, and made sure they were all there. So it seems.
I was up early this morning listening to the RAID drive beeping away, and the desktop icon flickering on and off. I put it out of it's misery and turned it off. Things are a lot quieter. I bought that drive in December 2017, and replaced the enclosure in 2020. Looking at hard drive failure stats I have nothing to complain about. I wonder if running for almost 2 months straight doing the backup to Backblaze contributed to the failure? I'll never know.
Is it possible to take the RAID to iCube and recover the data? Yes, and maybe, respectively. But I don't see the need. I don't have a delivery date for the SSD yet, but I think I'm ok. He said. Knock wood. Cross fingers.
You have backed up your data, right?
Oh, and now that the exported photos are on an internal SSD drive, browsing is ever so much quicker.
The fun part of yesterday was the family skate over at our community centre. All involved were amazed we still had ice. Thanks to our hard working rink crew, though they said it was too cold to do a really good job flooding the rink. None of the skaters complained. Photos here, if interested.
From a walk in Fish Creek earlier this month, looking for reflections. I got a couple odd looks from people walking by as I was working the scene, but that's nothing unusual.
