How will I know when a RAID 0 disk has failed

I have a Proliant N40L with MS Server 2010 on a pair of RAID 0 disks. I'm about to install a pair of RAID 0 3TB disks for our data.

When one of these disks fail, how would I know? Is there some mechanism I can setup to email me in the event of a failure?

I can see myself not knowing that one of the drives has failed, and then having the other one in the pair fail as well...

 

If you're getting a sense of D├йj├а Vu reading this, then that's because I've asked this before (22 Feb 2013) but didn't get any (relevant) replies...

Re: How will I know when a RAID 0 disk has failed

How will you know?  Well, for one you wont have access to the data any longer.  If any drive fails in a RAID 0 configuration, the volume is dead and cannot be recovered.

 

I am not familiar with the model though.  Does this model have an available Support Pack for ProLiant so you can use the HP Event Notifier / HP Management Agents?

Why do you say you have a "pair"?  Are you using software mirroring/RAID?
