[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 450372, member: 9252"] Hi All, After 3 years heavy use, today a power cut killed my 2-bay NAS drive. I *think* the two disks inside are ok as they were idle and not even spinning at the time. I have ordered another unit, so when it arrives, fingers crossed my drives aren't corrupt! All my data is on one drive, the second is just a backup of the first (Daily backup, not RAID) so even if one is dead hopefully the second replica will be OK. If anyone by chance has a DLINK DNS-320L, do you happen to know if you can create new volumes without formatting? I'm hoping I can drop my drives in and set each as a volume without it assuming that I want it wiping! I think to be safe, I will do one drive at a time though.... [/QUOTE]
