Failed HGST Nextar on RN214
I've been running a 214 with dual 4TB HGST Nextar NAS drives for a couple of months now. We just had a power outage and when the system came back up it was showing a degraded data status and only see...
Hello ranchracer,
Normally, the volume is degraded when you remove a disk. What that means is that the volume can not recover from another disk failure. It is an expected behavior with XRAID with single redundancy that can only protect against loss of one disk - and when you removed the drive, you lost one. In your case, I guess one disk failed which probably is the disk 2.
Are there just 2 disks and not 4? What is the RAID level that it has been using before you removed the disk? I think XRAID RAID1, correct me if I am wrong. If you can still access the files, I strongly suggest to back up the data. After all, it is not a good idea to store important data to just one device.
