Ordered The Drives For My New Servers
[ Thursday February 26th 2026 at 9:05 pm ]
I now have 2 of the servers that run my website offline. It appears the drives have failed. The reason I think this is because when I ran the SMART test on the other SSD drives I purchased around the same time it shows the other drives are in a pre-fail state. I have ordered commercial grade SSD drives to replace them. I will have about 8 hours of serve maintenance to do by the time I install the operating system and get everything setup again. I am unsure of when I will get to this. The ideal would be to do this before my right knee joint is replaced (assuming my surgeon is willing). However I am really struggling to stay on top of my day to day life right now. I figure the best is to get the SSD drives here. Then I will work out when I am able to do this server maintenance at a time when my body cooperates. I really don't want my website to go offline while I am recovering from my right knee joint replacement surgery. This is one of the highlights in my life right now. It is really nice to have something to give back in what has become a very difficult time in my life.
