HI I upgraded my server hardware (new box) and migrated the data using the standard SME backup feature. (SME 7.5) I setup the new Box with a Fresh SME 7.5 O/S with all the latest upgrades.
Main difference with the two setups is that the old box had IDE RAID (2*80GB Hard Disks) and the new one has (2*80GB SATA Disks).
I upgraded the hardware as I was starting to get performance and some hardware failure issues.
The migration went well, no issues with data etc.
but after a day i began to get RAID error notifications. It showed the following errors.
The server still works flawlessly with no apparent performance issues.
A DegradedArray event has been detected on md device /dev/md1.
A DegradedArray event has been detected on md device /dev/md2.
I checked the admin console and got the following information from the RAID Management Menu:

From this information is it correct to assume:
1. There is no Redundancy RAID setup over two disks?
2. There is only one disk being used??
3. Is the fault related to SATA/IDE Drive setup??
Ive have had a look through the RAID documentation but do not want to progress further unless i have a clear understanding of the situation. Can anyone enlighten me on what is happening on my server and what the solution is.
Thanks for any helpful input. (Seasons greetings to all)
