Access HD in USB enclosure
Hello, When my ReadyNAS dies but the HD is still working, can I still have access to the HD when I put it in a USB enclosure? Can I mount the HD in OSX or do I need Ubuntu (Linux) for this? D...
The drives are formatted with ext as mentioned above, but you also have to take into account that the ReadyNAS is a RAID unit, so you would have to have at least the minimum required amount to run the RAID in order to access the files (RAID 5 is total number of disks minus one disk, RAID 6 (dual disk redundancy) is the total number of disks used minus two. RAID 1 would be mirrored disks of each other and would be able to easily extract the data. If you want to use the disk and no longer have it in a RAID setup, you'll most likely have to mount the disk using Disk Utility and wipe all partitions.
