I had a drive fail in a Raid 0 JBOD configuration. But I cannot, for the life of me figure out how to actually replace the disk (other than physically inserting it).
As far as I can tell, only the Disk 1 is actually seen as formatted by Windows 10 when the drive enclosure with blank disks is initialized / formatted initially. Disk management shows Disk 1 as the total size partition (7+ TB in my case) and initialized / unallocated. Disks 2-4 are not initialized / not formatted.
There was only 1+ TB of files on the enclosure and they are backed up, so that's fine.
So when drive 4 failed I should have just been able to replace it with another 2 TB drive, right? Except that doesn't work. When I do the "drive" (enclosure) never shows.
I'd ask on Mediasonic's forum, but the administrator has never activated my account.
