I wouldn't be surprised if red went down to fix blue.

If boxes were hosted on rented hardware, would have been fixed in minutes. A complete failure would have been avoided. It takes 3 drives to go bad in a raid 5, before things start getting ugly. The people hosting the hardware would have thrown drives in it.

These are Basement Dweller Servers though. Lets not deceive ourselves.
It sounds like they have some servers in a locker at an ISP.

Two drivers in a raid 5 will bring it down, not three. Which is why you always replace a failed hard drive asap.
