does management software allow notifications by email on raid failures?

Yes, you can configure the RAID management software to send an email in case of some kind of event. Also the controller emits a steady beep noise in case of RAID failure (I did have a drive fail on me) so if you're anywhere in the vicinity of the server, you'll know!

Yes, you need download additional soft from HighPoint.Also you can make it bootable - for that you need firmware update.

The answer to your question is yes. You can configure the raid controller to send alert notifications for event levels information,warning, and/or error. This can be accomplished by installing the highpoint raid management software and selecting settings after login followed by email. From the screen you can input your mail server information and the recipient email address or addresses you want to send the notifications to. You can find out more by researching on the highpoint technologies website. Have a happy RAID day. ;^)

Yes, you can set up a notification by email but I haven't done it. I agree with Robert Showalter that you can't miss the beep on failure. I've had two drives die, recovery was straight-forward although the documentation is opaque.

I had a drive fail while under warranty. I contacted LaCie and received a replacement. The recovery service is expensive .

Yes, you can provide drive letters to each users with their own login. For example I have Data on one with only my login and a Home directory for each user.

I have had problems with the scanning direct to a folder on the network. I find it much easier to setup an ftp server on the machine your scanning to and point the work centre at that. The scan to email also works very well

Not sure what you mean. Certainly they are meant to be replaced if one fails which is the RAID benefit. Not sure if you can buy different drives to begin with from CalDigit. Like SSDs. They offer different sizes. 3T and 4T for example. Don't think they sell the unit without drives.

Don't know. We purchased this specific drive as a replacement for a defective drive in one of our RAID systems

I understand that you can setup your alarm system for txt messages not for emails, I rather use the app total connect to verify my alarm status.

Hi Sir, I've sent the file how to set up motion detection to your email box,please kindly check it.

OMG, NO! We had one fail without notice and it was a major problem. We thought the dual drive on ours would be a safe backup system, but the entire drive failed. A service company worked on it and we were fortunate to retrieve most of the data, but it was a very close call and expensive. Now we have TWO separate backup drives on all systems.

No problem at all, also works on Windows Server 2012 64bit, I have it running on RAID (mirror) set.

The Quartz 4 Manual [Download from Dyconn website] is pretty clear that if a RAID setup drive becomes damaged, the drive bay needs to be shut off before replacing the damaged drive with a new one.

Lacie will send you a replacement if the drive doesn't work. If under warranty they will respond quickly and send you a shipping label to send back the damage drive. In the past they did have a service to rescue the media, but its costly unless you have everything backed up.

Honest opinion as much as this may suck to hear, take the hot swap out. Mine was faulty and from reviews I've seen I'm far from the only one it happened too. A hot swap would a been nice but I had error after error on my raid and soon as I took it out no more errors.

Not likely, RAID can be implemented is many ways. There are many variables like stripe size, parity, etc.

I concur with Robin V on this one - I suggest replacing any failed drives with a WD RED drive. They are built to work in NAS boxes under constant use while other drives are not built for this kind of use and abuse.

You might consider the HP MediaVault instead; which lets you set up and manage a Raid mirrored drive set easily via your PC interface and break the raid to put the copy into an Safety Deposit box. It uses inexpensive 500gb drives. I have two of them and they work great, super easy to manage compared to most NAS I have used.

I am not sure if it is true, but I read (perhaps in another review) that these are OEM drives for PC manufacturers, and hence they are not warrantied to the end user, but instead through the PC manufacturer. If you read other reviews, it is mentioned that they might be pulled from servers and the SMART data wiped. That said, I have ordered 4 of these and haven't had any complaints yet after a few months.
