This function enables you to force an online physical drive to go Offline.

The Force Offline function appears only for physical drives that are assigned to disk arrays.

Caution

Forcing a physical drive offline is likely to cause data loss. Back up your data before

Important

Rebuild is enabled and a spare drive is available, the disk array begins rebuilding itself

automatically.
