Don't forget replacement RAID controllers! The RAID config is usually dependent on the exact drive/controller combination, so removing the drives and not saving the controller may result in them becoming inaccessible. At the very least, they would almost certainly not pass requirements to be used as evidence if that happened.
- mbell 15y agoI really hope they weren't backing 25TB of data with RAID controllers, this is well out of RAID league and well into the territory of distributed file system techniques. I ditched RAID years ago for ZFS for only an 18TB file server at home. Start talking about thousands of servers and RAID is pretty useless. That said, IANAL but I think the interesting thing here is that just making copies of the hard drives is likely not enough from a evidence standpoint. With such a data set there are likely layers of data abstraction software that would be need to be replicated to make any sense of it.
