I have a Seagate Central NAS 3TB drive which I've been using for almost a year. Came home the other day and it wasn't on the network, so I checked the box and saw no light on. I've tried plugging it in with a different power cord from another drive (also tried the power cord from the Central on that other drive and it worked fine) and still no power.
I'm assuming that this is an enclosure failure and I need to trade it in under warranty but I know I'll never get the data off the drive that way. As long as the drive itself is still operating fine, I'm sure I could remove the drive from it's enclosure and place it in a generic one myself to access the data. My question is will I be able to read the data off the drive this way or is all the Seagate software/formatting going to prevent me from accessing it easily.
