Cloud
computing infrastructures rely extensively on RAID-based storage systems to
ensure data reliability and high availability. However, conventional RAID
failure detection mechanisms are largely reactive, resulting in unexpected
downtime and increased operational costs. This paper proposes an AI-driven
predictive disk failure management framework for cloud-based RAID storage
systems. The proposed approach analyzes SMART disk attributes and storage
performance metrics to predict failures before they occur. A Random Forest
classifier is trained using a SMART-based dataset augmented with simulated RAID
failure scenarios and is evaluated against threshold-based monitoring and
Support Vector Machine (SVM) baselines. Experimental results on 12,000 disk
health records demonstrate that the proposed model achieves 94.2% accuracy,
93.5% precision, and 92.8% recall, significantly outperforming conventional
approaches. The framework supports scalable cloud deployment and proactive
alerting, thereby improving storage reliability and reducing downtime.
