[SOLVED] Storage Server offline again...

[NightHawkRMX]

Hello, so my janky storage nas went offline. I noticed the web interface said the HDD went offline before the nas went offline entirely, which is likely due to the way its plugged into the optical bay and the SATA data cable likes to fall out.

I took the hdd out and plugged it into my PC just to ensure the data is still there. Nothing shows in file explorer, however, disk management shows the drive fine.

How can I assign the drive a letter and make sure no data is destroyed? The option to assign a letter is greyed out.

I believe the drive is formatted for Linux or something due to the OS on the nas.

Well, i bought the cheapest psu i could find.

$9 300w HIPRO unit with a power cable. I bought it from a good friend, so i knew it works.

Its the exact same model psu as the one i turned into a bench psu.

It works and shouldn't cause issues.
