Validated: Volume validation ensures sectors can be read and parity is correct.

Certified: Checks disks before use to ensure they are safe for data storage.

Vigilant: Error prediction helps protect against unexpected failure.

SoftRAID is powerful yet easy-to-use RAID software that maximizes drive capacity offers faster performance and protects against data loss. During that window, the other drive could fail as well, as you probably bought those two simultaneously and they've seen exactly the same wear and tear.It's ideal for voluminous data roles, including audio/video production and editing, photography, graphic design, database servers, financial applications, and more. As you have noticed, the rebuilding process takes an increasingly long time (I think it was about 36h when I last used 4TB drives on an Areca RAID card). Longer term, I would strongly suggest leaving RAID behind. Hardware RAID means you'll have to switch ports or change RAID to JBOD setting on the card's bios. I'm not sure if you're running software or hardware raid, but the safest is probably to power it down, and do a surface scan each of the drives separately (read only!) using a bootable tool. You may want to do that scan on each of the drives to see if they're still healthy. If the rebuilding process kicks in, something has changed on one (or maybe even both) of the drives (which could indicate deteriorating health). I assume the RAID drives didn't see any changes during that process, but you should even be able to disconnect a drive in the array when offline, and for example do a non volatile surface scan. To my dismay, the RAID resynchronisation process started.

powered off, removed the faulty M.2 SSD, reconnected the power connectors.

connected a Linux USB key, reset, booted on that, extracted critical data from the faulty M.2 SSD.

tried to boot Windows from my NVMe on the primary port it went spinning cursor for like 15 minutes.

disconnected the power connectors of the two rotating rust drives, connected the faulty M.2 on a secondary port.

verified my RAID volume was in sync, powered down my machine.

Yesterday that was scavenging a friend's M.2 SSD that, it turns out, has grown bad blocks that cause a bios warning and somehow prevent Windows from booting, including from another volume.

Sometime I want to make things with that PC that I know are likely to crash. How can I avoid this? I'd prefer something I can do before reconnecting the drives, but I'm willing to do something before disconnecting them. I conclude the mere fact of seeing both drives disconnected is recorded on the Windows boot volume on the NVMe drive, and enough to trigger a resync. The RAID resynchronisation process has started. Reconnect power to both 3TB drives, reboot, logon, check volume status.Disconnect power to both 3TB drives, reboot, logon, orderly power off.I know from past experience that if at this point I'd make a reboot, logon, check volume status, I'd find the RAID in sync. Reboot, logon, check volumes are in sync, orderly power off.

a power loss requires like 5 hours of uninterrupted on time. The RAID volume resynchronisation process after e.g.

I have a working 3TB software RAID volume under Windows 10 on my primary work machine, physically two 3TB rotating rust disk.
