Unplugged 4th Drive, Now nothing works anymore! #23575559
This is completely random, I simply unplugged the 4th Drive to explaining to a friend how simple it is to change drives when you want upgrade he size, then all of sudden it says drive "Degraded" ... h...
When you removed the first drive, then in fact the array was degraded (no longer redundant). When you reinsert it, a RAID resync is needed before the array becomes redundant again. That takes time - generally hours.
If you removed a second drive before the resync completed, then you destroyed the array and you have likely lost your data. If you removed drive 4 again, then there is a chance.
In either case, you should contact support (support.netgear.com). You have phone support if you purchased within the last 90 days.
