Format a drive inside the NASBox
Hi - I have looked through available documentation and this forum. Sorry if I've missed the answer somewhere. I have a ReadyNAS DUO (RND2110-100NAS) with two1TB Seagate Barracudas installed. One of...
1) The disk is wiped. The secure erase option is not available for the Duo (v1). However doing a normal factory reset would be sufficient to make the data unrecoverable. If you really want to do a secure erase you'll need to find a PC to connect the disk to.
2) It wipes the disks. The enclosure is unaffected unless you choose a different RAID mode but even then once you power down, remove the bad disk and put your good disk back in it would recognise the RAID mode that it was using.
When you handle a disk bare there is a risk of damaging it without realising it. I would suggest ensuring that your backup is up to date before attempting the procedure.
