If a drive in the array fails, the data and operating system are still intact, and the WDSentinel server continues to provide service.

Important: If you have one baddrive, the server operates normally. However, if a second drive fails, the server will no longer operate. You will need to recover the server and/or replace the failed drive(s). A best practice is to have a replacement drivereadily available.
