RAID Degraded...How can I recover my system or RAID 10 data

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3
1

I recently had my Drive 1 fail and I replaced it with a brand new HDD of the same MFG and size (3TB). The system rebuilt my RAID 10 sucessfully overnight. Upon reading in posts that I should be using NAS drives as opposed to standard HDD, I purchased 2 - Segate 3TB NAS drived (on the supported drive list), powered down my NAS and swapped out my drive 1 with the new NAS drive. Powered it back up and now get RAID degraded. Not sure why I didn’t get the Raid rebuild option. So I powered it back off, put the “good” HDD back in Drive bay 1 and turned it back on. Now still getting Degraded RAID even though this was the original drive that was in there and the RAID was fine and working before I tried installing the new NAS drive. What happened? What did I do wrong?

I am open for suggestions of how to rebuild/recover my Raid 10 (auto or manual) so I can recover my data and/or do a backup.
Please help!!

Hello,

There is an auto rebuild option on the storage section of the dashboard, try to check if ts turned on to see if this can help you out.

ArMak,
I did have this option turned on. I know that for sure. But It’s not showing it available right now. Not even the Manual button to rebuild the Raid10.
Is there any way to trigger this to run the auto-rebuild? I just can’t loose the 3.2tb of data I have stored on it.
Is there no way to access the mirror copies from the other two drives?
How does the Raid 10 work… Drives 1 & 2 are Volume1 and drives 3 & 4 are the Mirror of 1 & 2…right? There has to be a way to access the data on 3 & 4 or get it to rebuild the Raid on 1 & 2. Thank you, Derek Besterman

ArMak,
Another thought… If I put two new drives in bay 1 & 2, would that possible kick-off the Raid10 rebuild?
Just trying to exhaust all options… Thank you, Derek Besterman

I don’t believe this would be a good idea in would be risking your volume there, try to see if there id another way, like doing a reset perhaps.
