RAID Monitor is a very useful tool that will automatically check the status of any software RAID. If a fault is found with the RAID it will generate an email and play a system alert sound. Email alerts are repeatedly sent to the recipients until the error has been resolved.

RAID Monitor will also send an email report every 24-hours to give you peace of mind that the RAID is functioning correctly and the email link between you and your RAID is functioning correctly.
