Identifying drives.

[DaveHemm72]

Is there a best practice on identifying each drive in array ? - planning for drive failures - don't want to be guessing which one will be needing replacing when the time comes.
During beta, I'll probably only have a few small HDDs internally on designated machine just getting used to the system; later will probably use some 5 bay icydocks that have been sitting idle for many years, put in my Antec 1200 tower case which I have hoarded for a project like this. Would ideally be able to identify drives as i insert a drive at a time so I can label them for future reference.

Looks like the interface will have the ability to show the drive SN.

The case I'm using (a Silverstone CS380) uses drive trays, and these trays have a nice flat spot on the front where I put some painters tape.  I write the last few digits of the drive SN on that tape so I can identify the drives without having to power down / remove each one.  🙂
