Newbie to Thecus N5200

[timos_t]

Dear friends,

I bought a N5200 NAS storage, and placed in it 2x320GB SATA disks , NTFS formatted (transfered them form USB to SATA external cases). How can i see and browse the files from the discs inside the WEB interface (?). Is there any other way to browse them just like windows xplorer (?)

I configured both of them under Storage->RAID->Config. and used JBOD configuration.

Thanks

I really don't know what you are trying to achieve here.

Are the drives internal to the NAS?
Why the USB or SATA cases?

Adding drives to a NAS box like this and setting up an array on them will format them to EXT3 (i think it's EXT3, may be EXT2, not that it matters). The N5200, like virtually every NAS at this level cannot read NTFS file systems.

By creating a RAID array on them you will loose ny data contained on them.

I think you got something wrong here. Existing filesystems, like the NTFS formatted disks from your external boxes, cannot be transformed into JBOD, RAID or anything useful! If You did anything to these disks, like building a JBOD, a RAID, ... they got formatted and the data are gone!

This is not a box that can do miracles. It just joins 2 or more _empty_ disks to one big and do online data security levels if you wish.
