I know this is an old card. I've been using it since I bought it new in 2008. I'm prepping to do a migration to trunas and a set of larger drives and an also 9305 card but until I can get some new drives I'm limping along with this old card.
I currently have a RAID6 array of 9 4tb WD red drives. One degraded and it's been trying to rebuild. I'm currently running windows server 2016 essentials. I think something is causing the is to bsod while rebuilding the array. So I went into the cards bios to rebuild there.
Does anyone know if the card will rebuild while I'm in the bios screen of the card? I would rather leave it there and let it rebuild.
It could also be the drive is hosed and I need to buy a new one. Not sure why the drive went degraded except that we had a storm the other night and my UPSs battery apparently failed (less than 6 months old) and the server hard shutdown. The drives were unlikely to be writing anything as I don't currently write to that array. It's purely read operations.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*Btw I have backed up data to external drives, but I would still rather not lose the data as I could mount the array and make copying to the new array in trunas faster.
