Harddrive Question

Hello,
I have a question about the harddrives outside the Netgear nas.
Im running raid 1 on 2 drives, is it posible to remove one drive and plug it into my computer to access the data (running windows) if so do i need any software?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Harddrive Question

You will need software - windows does not recognize the drive format.

Linux Reader works with the v1, I don't know if it also works with the v2. http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

Re: Harddrive Question

Shut down the NAS, especially don't hot-insert after you try this. The NAS will wipe the drive and then rebuild the RAID array if you do that.
