+You might experience one or more of the following symptoms in Windows Server 2025:
 
 - The event logs list disk, storage, and replication-related errors. These errors might include the following events:
   - Event ID 7 (device error)
   - Event ID 11 (controller error)
   - Event ID 153 (disk timeout)
   - Event ID 1112 (Storage Replica replication error)
 
-- Files, databases, or application storage appear to be corrupt.
+- Files or databases appear to be corrupted, or application storage appears to be corrupted.
 - Storage Replica experiences replication failures.
 - Storage monitoring tools generate warnings or alerts that indicate degraded performance or reliability.
 
 ## Cause
 
 The following factors can cause these issues:
 
-- Physical disk failures, such as bad sectors or mechanical defects.
-- Data corruption within the storage subsystem.
-- Underlying storage hardware issues that interfere with replication processes.
-- Misconfigured storage replication settings, such as inadequate log sizes or incorrect replication mode.
-- Disk configuration issues that reduce system resilience.
