I now have actual hardware failure. It may take weeks to recover. As the cost of replacement parts is in the thousands it could be longer as there is not enough money to actually replace the parts.

SSD hardware failure? D:

maynard <ibis>: they are awkward and last 2 damn long. I prefer thinner smaller ones

no I actually was having ssd issues though on my c drive which was fixed via a firmware update.
Now my raid card does not load up unless I remove it from the computer and wait like 5min and put it back in and then restart the computer 10 times and then it works.
So now I am trying to backup everything to external hdds that I picked up today so that I am protected against any data loss. The backups should take 1-2 days to process at 20mb/s.
The good news is I use teracopy as my file manager in windows so I can automatically crc check every file to ensure it was not corrupted in the backup process.
What sucks is that a new raid card will be like $1000.

Aww that blows... Tedious work, bit per bit back up takes FOREVER. =\
Pricey raid card.

Cause he has some crazy ass raid like a 0 6 1 or something going on

Also, it's probably pissed off that you put your computers & servers in the middle of a 100ft x 100ft mine field.
I mean comon, that's the exact same idea as putting the princess in the tower, guarded by a dragon.
See, this is what happens when you act like an Ogre.

Raid, is redudent array of disks
0 6 1 is would be a Raid 0 (two disks or arrays striped for spead(not actually raid as its not redundent), Followed by raid 6ing those raid 0s (err thats hard to explain, 5 arrays, two go bad keep all data, its fairly slow probably would cancel out the raid 0 speed benifits) then raid 1(mirring of two disks or arrays) the raid 6 XD
20 disks in unnecessary raid, hence the 1000 dollar raid card
If all 20 were 2tb, that would be what, 12 Tb of usable data while the rest is all redundent?

actually a 0 6 1 would be more like this and would ideally be done with 2-4 cards and not 1.
2 raid 6 arrays in raid 0 for 6x2 for 12 drives for 24tb at 2tb each that would be 24tb -8tb for a total space of 16tb. Then to have this in raid 1 you just do the same again for 24 2tb drives in raid 0 6 1 with 16tb usable space. The theoretical performance would be around 2-4Gb/s.
On another note it will take about 7 days for the backup to finish. As a result I am going to try plan b: use my sisters laptop and esata to transfer the files faster than via usb. This should allow me to finish within the next 2 days instead.

Looks like the issue was my ssd? This held the os so it is going to be a long ride...
