Separate RAID 1 Drives My Book Studio II?

My enclosure appears to have died- won’t power up when power is connected. It had been configured as RAID 1.

Can I remove the drives (2 x 1TB) and put them into separate single enclosures and access the data?

Hi nat77han,

That is only possible if Raid roaming was configured.

You can have a look at this KBA if raid roaming was enabled on the bad enclosure:

I don’t know if that was enabled. If not, do I have to purchase another WD RAID duo enclosure to read the data? I thought RAID 1 HD’s are fully redundant?
