Fucking piece of shit!
Had 2 1TB's in it, RAID 0 so they were independent disks.
C and D
Had
Media and Backups
Got 2 2TB's to replace.
Still one 2TB in a spare PC, install XP, backup drive C to it.
Remove C put in other 2TB drive and backup D to it while in the unit (testing out backup methods).
Seems fine after taking a fucking day and a bit to copy D.
Cut a long story short, do some other stuff to check the new shares. One seems fine, other one now not working. I hot swap which its built to do. Apparently this isn't a good idea if RAID0 as it wipes the fucking drives. No mention of that.
Now all 4 fucking drives appear to have been wiped! Fucking useless piece of shit this NAS is. Using R-Studio to try and recover. Shame they aren't NTFS. As they are Ext3, Linux, means after I assume I'd have to use a linux distro. But hate Linux and can't work out when in there how to do simple tasks like viewing HDDs. They don't make it fucking easy Linux.
My Synology seems a lot better than this shit ReadyNAS Duo.

RAID 0 == Spanning == 2 drives appear as one != independent disks...

Well.. it's technically Striping =]
My computer took ages to boot yesterday, turned on and the Raid Array had decided that it didn't like me... recovering it brought it back though, but such is life on Raid 0 =[

Not according to Netgear and ReadyNAS Duo. If you want both disks to be independent on it, you have to set them up as RAID 0. |

According to Wiki: RAID 0 (block-level striping without parity or mirroring) has no (or zero) redundancy but provides improved performance and additional storage but no fault tolerance. Hence simple stripe sets are normally referred to as RAID 0. Any disk failure destroys the array, . You wanted two separate drives so why bother with RAID at all? |

Because that's how the shitty ReadyNAS works. I have been putting in two new drives, as you know. The old ones were set to RAID 0 and were separate. Don't ask me, ask Netgear  http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18639&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=aDoes ReadyNAS support JBOD or some sort of non-RAID setup? ReadyNAS does not support JBOD, however, you can create a RAID 0 striped volume across all four disks or create a separate RAID 0 volume on each disk. http://spiralinear.org/showthread.php?tid=85It appears it's Netgears cowboy job of getting the Duo or tricking it into being a cowboy version of JBOD. |

For anyone interested I'm currently using R-STUDIO to recover from the format. Appears to be working well. Took a day and a bit to scan the drive though. I'm currently viewing the data on it as if it's in NTFS which is good so can just restore to a Windows drive. But currently restoring to the Synology instead. http://www.r-studio.com/ |

Hot swaping RAID 0, you've got some balls.  I use a RAID 5 and RAID 1 arrays at work |

If it only did a quick reformat (the MBT not the entire disk) then you can recover the files with TestDisk. If you have not already. PM/post here if it's a possibility.

Had marked my account for deletion  but as it didn't happen I just kept away for a while instead. Yes I recovered about 99% of data from both HDDs with R-Studio doing a quick format in Windows is a bad idea as it makes it even harder to recover data apparently. Scanning the drive and recovering took several days. |
