New Around Here
Hi, I've been using a Seagate NAS 220 with 2, 2TB drives mirrored for several years. About a month ago, it disappeared from the network. I tried to re-start it and it will not boot. I believe the drives themselves are still good, so I bought a used 220 via eBay and it arrived yesterday. My plan was to put my drives into that box but I have a concern. I don't know how the NAS stores configuration information. If everything is on the disk, then I should be good, but if it is in flash memory, then I run the risk of the NAS seeing the drives as new and creating all new partitions, potentially damaging my data. Does anyone know if putting the drives into the working box is safe? My alternative is to put only one drive in. They were mirrored, so all of the data should be on each drive. At least then, I only risk losing one of them.
Thank you,
Jim
