I was looking to buy a WD Duo 8TB but

see "Drives not Readable outside MyBook Duo Enclosure?"

Ermorel the moderator says

"Do you have the drive set on any specific RAID configuration? 

 

If the unit is on RAID 0 you should be able to see them on the PC with a different eclosure. Howerver, if the unit is seto on RAID 1, they wont show up on the PC as normal due to the configuration."

I am hoping that was the other way. Raid 0 being stripped should not be readable outside but Raid 1, Mirror, should be a NTFS and it would be a copy of itself, thereby if one fails, or the unit fails, one drive can be mounted on an external exclosure and all data can then be read and copied.

So just need someone to confirm before I head out and buy one from NCIX who doesn’t offer refunds on Hard Drives.

Thanks again.
