Xraid 2 formatted disk
Is it possible to put a X-Raid 2 formatted disk (WD Caviar Red 3TB) into a caddy and read it as a usb drive?
I have just tried taking both drives out and mounting them onto my caddy after installing DiskInternals Linux Reader 1.6.4.0 and it shows 3 x volumes relating to the drive. This is the same for both drives indicating they are mirrored:
Volume 1 - Linux Raid Partition - 4Gb
Volume 2 - Linux Raid Partition - 512Mb
Volume 3 - Linux Raid Partition - 2.7Gb
Clearly the data is on Volume 3 however when i try and open it i get the error:
Can't open Disk: Volume 3 (Linux Raid Partition)
Check the disk and try again.
As you said it may be down to the Adaptor as it was a cheap one from amazon a few months back.
The NAS and drives were purchased in Apr 2012 so no warranty for the NAS but think the drives have 3 years on them.
