As far as you know the UPS is working properly, but have you actually tested it by pulling its plug out of the wall? Nine times out of ten when you do that, you'll find that the battery is essentially dead and that the UPS did not maintain power thru a drop-out. If the drive was writing at the time for any reason, then you've got probs.
No I haven't tested it, Dick, but that's a good idea. If it's not working will it hurt anything as long as I'm not running any programs?
As far as the drive that died, it wasn't in use, so if that's the only likely cause for its failure, then I figure it just had to be due to the momentary outage.
