| Re: "Add spare" on N5200 doesn't work
****. As it was trying to rebuild, the third drive died. It starting beeping and the web interface said the RAID is now "damaged" and I should turn it off. It is currently off. It was on a UPS so I don't think this was a power issue.
First, how do I recover my data? The N5200 has firmware v2.00.08. I have the SYSUSER module installed so I might be able to SSH in if I turn it back on.
Secondly, should I buy a new NAS or would replacing the drives be enough? The drives are all Western Digital RAID editions, models WD5000YS and WD5000ABYS. Based on what I just read elsewhere, the drives might still work, but were dropped from the array due to incompatibility issues for those particular drives.
