Well it appears that even though I put one drive in the N299 at a time (set one up in JBOD, used it for a few days, then added the second) it seems to have raided them together.

Well Im not 100% sure what is going on but both frives now need to be present in the N299 before it recognizes any data on them. I am at a loss ... what is the point in JBOD "Just a bunch of disks" when they are both needed to maintain any form of data integrity??

What happened if one of them failed? Would I be in the same position as if I had selected RAID 0??

Now Ive put them back in the N299 it wont recognize my data!!, It keeps asking for a firmware upgrade then reboots then asks again before AFP or SMB can be turned on!

I am really starting to loose confidence in this device very quickly . . .

Can anyone offer any advise or explanations on what is happening?
