  Hi All,

  This may sound like a really simple question.

  But I have the below scenario.

  I have a RAID 1 Configuration which basically reported a degraded status in one of the hard disk.

  I know that in order to fix the problem, I ought to replace the degraded hard disk with a new hard disk matching the same capacity. I have also found the rebuilding option under my RAID Controller, so the next thing to do is probably replace the hard disk and boot up the machine, follow by rebuilding the raid. 

  Now my concern is this, by rebuilding the RAID 1, will I end up wiping out / erasing the data on the master disk?

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  Ed
