Hello, i have 4 WD 7200 rpm 16mb cache in raid 10 and today one of the hdds failed. I will be replacing it with the exact same hdd however will i need to formatt the hdds again for the raid 10 to work or can i just plug it in?

Thanks

(ps i asked this because if i will have to formatt my pc i will have to deauthorise all my ea games :S and farcry 2 lol)

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to just plug it in and rebuild the array without having to format anything due to the failed drive having been mirrored.
