I will confess that I didn't even check that, though I didn't see any note of RAID issues in the Event Log. The RAID array in the system is healthy, with a hot spare, and in the configuration that I expected it to be in (the hot spare is the highest-numbered drive, indicating that it has not been utilized). I'll be checking to confirm that the RAID controller in that system does in fact log such events.
