The Intel Rapid Storage Tech. app will alert you and even send you an e-mail if you configured that. It will identify which drive and port, its up to you to know which drive is actually on which port to yank  the right one in the physical world.

 

If you haven't installed the Rapid Storage Tech. app you should be doing that right about now.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

You can do it there as well but there are other tools depending on if its hardware or software RAID.

When you boot, rapid storage will tell you that the raid is degraded, which means on of the drive has died. It will show you which one by serial number
