Re: a drive in a RAID 0 volume is failing
What that is saying is that one of your disks has or is having read/write errors. Since you have a RAID 0 array (this is two disks used together with data written across both) which means that if one disk fails you will lose all your data. This type of array is dessigned to give speed not redundancy. I would backup all important data.
