Hello, I have a Pegasus R4 drive in RADI 5. The disk number 4 had failed. The red light is on and the application says that its DEAD.My question is can I replace it with any brand of 2Tb drive?Is there any special procedure for replacing the drive to ensure that I keep my data intact?

Hi Paul,

In case if the drive has any errors like (Bad Sectors, Command times out, PFA, SMART) then please replace it with a same capacity(2TB) drive listed in Promise compatiblity list and before you start Rebuild please make sure the Logical Drive status is set to Critical and then you can Hotplug the new drive which will initiate the Auto rebuild on the replaced drive.

Below is the Compatibilty list for Pegasus R4 unit:
