We had a power outage 2 days ago and I'm having issues with my Seagate Business Storage 2-Bay NAS. It is backed up by a Tripp Lite UPS but the power was off for several hours so the UPS ran out of backup power and the NAS just turned off without a proper shut down and when the power came back on it powered up, all the while I was at work.
The first sign of trouble was no access to the NAS so upon inspection it was making a loader than usual fan noise and the HDD's were both very warm. I tried to open in my Seagate NAS Discovery and instead of all the drop downs it only showed Disk Management and when clicked it showed both 4 TB HGST NAS Drives but each as Foreign. Prior to this issue, this setup has worked flawlessly, drive is not set up as Raid but just simple storage at 7.75TB.
I do have most data backed up but spent some dollars and would like to salvage the drives and data if possible. I have researched and found where to claim a drive or change it from dynamic to simple but I don't know how to access it on my pc in Disk Management. I pulled one of them out and connected it directly to my pc via a USB and it shows 15 or so partitions and when I click on one of the partitions it says I need to format to use the drive. I reinstalled the drive and powered the NAS back up to see if anything changed but same thing.
Also could the NAS be damaged and if so can I just get a new on and reseat the HDD's and it work?
Can someone give some options to try?
Thanks in advance!!!
