Hello,
Regarding case ID (ALR400998914)... not resolved
I have the DNS-323 with two 1T drives. I have it setup for Raid 1 (mirroring). I purchased a third drive of the same type and want to add it into the rotation. My hope was to be able to hot-swap a drive once a month and take it to my safety box.
So I added the third drive and I expected the system to be in a degraded state and it would need to resync the drive.
Originally the two drives showed up as Volume_1
Now the new drive appears as Volume_2
When I login in to the drive as Admin I new get the wizard telling me to pick a Raid format!
If i try to map the drive ... it won't map. I fear I've lost all my data!

What Admin can see:

Any ideas about what to do to get back to my data as Volume_1
Regards,
Bob

This is a terribly BAD idea! Put your two drives in the box, put the 3rd drive in a USB external case, and do the backups on your computer from the NAS. Taking the drives in and out of the NAS is a recipe for disaster!
