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!

Hard Drive Info:

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!

OK, thanks...
