On the DNS-323 which side is volume 1 on?

I take it you're not running in RAID mode and that is why you ask which is which. You could always shut it down, pull one of the units, boot it back up and see which one is still there. That shouldn't hurt anything as long as it is not a RAID 0 array

Are you running the latest firmware? The Volume_1 is determined by whatever drive was loaded first. It can easily change if you remove a drive the remaining drive will become Volume_1 then the drive inserted next will be Volume_2.

You do that with anything other than standard volumes and you're just asking for trouble.

With JBOD and RAID0 you can expect to kiss your data goodbye, and with RAID1 you can expect to have to rebuild the array.
