Hi,

Thanks for your reply.
So are you suggesting that if I can find a drive similar to Quantum Fireball (Tm) Plus LM 3.5 Series, it is ok to replace with Disk 1 ?

Sorry , what does it mean by (The drives must be with in 2-3% of each other) ?

You mentioned that "when you set raids, It is prefered but not required that all drives be the same models, size and firmware". You also mentioned that "If you start mis-matching drives you run in to problems." That makes me confused.

Now, as you know I have got Snap (4100) with 4 Quantum Fireball (Tm) Plus LM 3.5 Series Drives. And that Dirve 1 has got a problem.

The way I understand is I need to either replace Drive 1 with another Quantum Fireball (Tm) Plus LM 3.5 Series or buy 4 Dirves (120 G) to replace all drives.

I tried the first option but couldnt' find the exact match for Quantum Fireball (Tm) Plus LM 3.5 Series. If you are suggesting that I don't need to buy drive with same model, firm and size, what sort of hard dirve I should buy to replace Disk 1 which is Quantum Fireball (Tm) Plus LM 3.5 Series to avoid mis-matching.

Thanks in advance.
