+Unexpected hardware failure led to approximately 16 hours of down time.
+The failed disk has been replaced, and things should be back in working order.
+It was, surprisingly, not the disk itself that failed, but rather the SATA data connector.
+It popped off while I was removing the disk for better cleaning access.
