Hi guys,
I need some urgent advice.
I have a Synology NAS with 5 HDD's inside (Approx. 12 TB space), my 2nd HDD crashed today and volume 1 has failed. I don't have any sort of RAID backup option, just a automatic scheduled external HDD backup of the most important files that is always connected to the NAS.
At the moment i can seem to still access the files however, i can't edit, delete them or anything.
Now my question is, the NAS is saying to take HDD 2 out.
So, if i remove this HDD, will it cause problems with me accessing the files on the volume?
Will it kill off the whole volume?
or is it safe to remove the HDD and then replace it.
Which goes on to my next question, if i buy an exact same HDD as the one thats crashed can i make a one to one replicate of the crashed disk? or is it beyond that now?
Basically, what should i do? Im really worried, as i use my NAS daily and need an immediate solution.
Thank you.
