How do you know which HDD is in slot X of your server? For example if one fails and you don't want to unplug the wrong one.

Sadly my 24 Bay one doesn't come with Smart Caddys or something fancy, only Power and Activity LED. Where on one occasion i guessed wrong -_- .

I'm tempted to start a spreadsheet but i hope their is something better than this or disk descriptions.

I tape a piece of paper with important info to the top of the server... Top outside, not the inside because I don't want it to block any airflow.

Paper is cheap and doesn't need batteries, and I don't need to look for the info when I need it.
