Hi,
So, I had a sans digital TowerRaid with 4 2TB seagate drives in it. Set up in RAID 5. connected through an estat cable to a estat card. Worked great for about 3 years of heavy use. A few days ago, it stopped working. The light would blink like it was loading over and over again. Then it stopped working all together. I assumed it was the power supple.
Went to the store and I got a Sans digital Mobilestor MS4UT+B. The machines on, it sees that its raid 5 but the error light is on. The 4 light for the HDD blink when it starts. This one has esata and usb 3. I've tried both the same lights are on but my pc doesn't see it.
So, what does the error light mean?
I have enough room in my pc the install the 4 drives but will windows see them as raid 5?
it seems unlikely that all 4 drives crashed at the same time.
I really don't want to loose all of my data so any help would be appreciated
