Now, if it told you it wasn't properly unmounted before disconnecting, but you can see your data, it's likely that you didn't lose much, if anything. When you have two drives in RAID1 it will show up as a single drive because the computer is writing data to them synchronously, so you have redundant storage. But what would be the next step in retrieving my data? What does one do from here? I'll be contacting WD tomorrow. the drives are just not reading/ non-accessible. My friend recommended I contact Western Digital about the drives I own because clearly this isn't the enclosures fault. MacOSX disk utility "read" and "verify disk" say both drives are fine. The enclosure's lights indicate that both drives are being read and are function.

The bottom drive did not show up on his windows computer but the top drive did, but was still not accessible and could not be mounted. I had a friend with an external docking station plug both drives into the same docking station. What would you do?!!? What can I do?! PLEASE HELP. I took both of them out before when the power was off and things were unplugged - have I already ruined everything? I don't know how it works. My main question is - what do I do!? Do I buy a new enclosure and just pop them in?Īlso- Is it safe to unplug the drives?! Will I loose everything. I am terrified to loose this - I am a photographer with years and years of work on these drives. Should two drives show up since I have 2 1tb drives in there? Or is this normal? Then a sub-line "BERNHARD" (which was the name I gave to my external raid hd) The enclosure turns on but nothing shows up on desktop or in Finder The blue lights which indicate the drives are on and in working condition come on and the fan runs. I tried it on my macbook pro and another macbook pro. I got an error reading that the device had been unplugged and not properly ejected. It's been working great for 2 years but before it suddenly disconnected. I put two Western Digital 1tb drives in it. It's now a discontinued model but it is from Sans Digital. I bought a dual bay enclosure from NewEgg I'm guessing 2 years ago to set up a RAID1.
