Hi everybody. Last night, when I started watching a movie, it suddenly stopped and my wdtv could no longer access the DNS-320. I turned it off and on again and I saw that the right HDD led did not turn on. I rebooted it again and the same thing happens.
My DNS-320 has two 2TB Seagate Barracuda. Volume 1 is in raid 1 (500 gb mirrored) and Volume 2 is 3TB in JBOD.
Now, while I can power on the DNS-320, I cannot access the drives.
I read that, when a drive is not working, the HDD led turns amber. In my case it does not turn on. Does this mean that my HDD is dead? Is there something I can do?
Than you for your help.

Some suggestions.
Open the box and remove and replace the drive in question then start the NAS and check if the drive LED lights - no need to replace the cover unless everything works.
If it still does not work download some of the programs/ifs mentioned in the sticky
DNS-320 - Data Recovery (Windows PCs) as well as the Seagate disk tools. You will also need a USB/SATA caddy or adapter. Install the software - reboot if necessary (assuming your OS is windows) - fit the drive in the caddy or attach the adapter then plug it in and see if it is recognised as a hard disk.
If the computer recognises that there is a hard disk attached run the disk tools to check the disk is working and accessible.
If the disk is good you have a faulty NAS, if the disk is bad you might be able to copy some of your data using the software in the sticky DNS-320 - Data Recovery (Windows PCs) but I recommend that you restore to a new drive from your backup.
