After having a family member un-plugging the 2T my book duo a few days later I’m no longer able to assess the drive with the symptoms now after re-booting:
- Drive connects - white light flashing
- Drive disconnects - yellow light flashing and not working.
I took it to Data Recovery and their diagnostics said:
" * File System Corruption/Damage - Manual Repair needed"
I set this drive up as a RAID-1 1 terabyte a piece.
They are confident that they will be able to save the data in this case.
Point to others: Make sure you know that RAID does not equal backup.
It’s fine to use RAID but also have a backup.
My question is why do you think this happened. If it was from being uplugged - why did it take a few days for it to crump?
