Can it be done on the fly? One of my Raptors seems to have bitten the dust on my RAID 5, and if its truly dead id like to keep my OS/Partition config and just switch to 0 or 1.
Or Cyc, is the warranty still good?

Typically a raid 5 array would have 4 to 5 disks, 3 in the array and one or two hot-spares .
