We have Western Digital dashboard to get data for drive read/write counts etc. It doesn’t work with G-Tech RAID 5. Does not even detect the RAID. Can you guys help and if there is another utility for RAID 5?
To address your G-Tech RAID 5 monitoring issue, since the Western Digital dashboard isn’t compatible, you have several alternatives. First, check if G-Technology offers specific software for their RAID systems. If not, consider third-party RAID management tools like StorageConsole or MegaRAID Storage Manager, which support multiple brands. Your operating system may also have built-in utilities for RAID monitoring. S.M.A.R.T. monitoring tools like CrystalDiskInfo or Smartmontools can provide information about individual drives in the array. As a final resort, contact G-Technology support for tailored recommendations. Remember to back up your data before trying new software, and ensure any tool you choose is compatible with your specific RAID setup. With these options, you should be able to find a suitable solution for monitoring your G-Tech RAID 5 system.
