    We have hundreds of drives, we rely on the HITRAK server to alarm if their is a drive failure. This is actually a requirement to get Hitachi support, when there is a failure the server automatically opens a service request with Hitachi.

    If we didn't have a monitor then there is a very good possibility that a bad drive would go unnoticed. We rarely look at the individual disks in the DP's and the physical disks are covered by a bezel so you wouldn't necessarily see a bad drive LED.


    And on top of this, any comptent storage admin would have his storage arrays actively monitored. I certainly had my SAN configured and would receive alerts on everything from temperature, to open bays, degraded array status, failures etc.
    Modularity and Design Simplicity:

    Think of the 2:00 a.m. test—if you were awakened in the
    middle of the night because of a network problem and had to figure out the
    traffic flows in your network while you were half asleep, could you do it?

    I am not excusing the person who missed three bad drives. I am just saying I understand how they could be missed if you are not looking for them.
