Hi all,

I've seen questions similar to these, but not exactly what I'm looking for..

I'm upgrading my system, and one of the things I'd like to do is take my 2x2TB HD out of the NAS and into my PC. Hardware wise its easy ofcourse, but I'd hate to loose the data. my setup is raid 0 (I think, always get mixed up), 2 HD are linked to make 1 4TB unit. As I have a lot of source code on there, old OS's that are hard to come by with utilities I do not want to loose this data... As far as I can find this is not possible. Or is there someone here who can tell me how it can be done without loosing the data

Thanks,
Bob
 
first step would be to backup your data before you take them out of the array.

in theory the raid gets rebuilt when you plug them in the pc and it's blanked out. however if the chipset of the nas and the pc are similar the pc may see them as raid members and allow you to recreate it without losing the data.

you won't know until you really try.

Thanks, but that means buying new HD's just for backup... It is an option as I can resell them after....
I'll hold on for a bit hoping to get a positive definite solution here...
 


maybe you can backup only your important data on the current pc or something?
