degraded array

About this tag
A degraded array in Windows refers to a RAID configuration where one or more drives have failed or become disconnected, reducing fault tolerance. In Windows 7, software RAID 1 (mirroring) can enter a degraded state after a crash or disk error, requiring resynchronization. Users may experience slow sync speeds, boot delays, or missing drive status in Disk Management. Troubleshooting includes checking disk health, rebuilding the mirror, or replacing failed drives. This tag covers user reports of degraded arrays in Windows software RAID, including sync times, BSOD triggers, and recovery steps.
