What Happens If One of My HDD or SSD Fails in a FuzeDrive?

FuzeDrives do not have any built in redundancy. If a one or more drives fail, the effect is the same as a single or RAID 0 disk failing i.e. the FuzeDrive will no longer function. For a bootable FuzeDrive, the system will BSOD or slowly degrade in performance if the drive fails slowly (which is more typically than instant failures).

If the drive is simply unplugged, then replugging the drive usually returns the drive to full operation.
