How do you know which HDD is in slot X of your server? For example if one fails and you don’t want to unplug the wrong one.

Sadly my 24 Bay one doesn’t come with Smart Caddys or something fancy, only Power and Activity LED. Where on one occasion i guessed wrong -_- .

I’m tempted to start a spreadsheet but i hope their is something better than this or disk descriptions.

    If all you have is the serial number of the disk that is failing … you’d better know what slot it’s in before you go pulling disks for replacement.
