I have 2, 3TB drives installed in JBOD about 2TB of data each. If i pull the drives out, it says their blank. Any way to fix this?

yes, I have two of these boxes, & I I either raid 0 or leave it at the default which is JBOD.right now, I buy a lot of Seagate Barracuda 4 terabyte drives, and put them in and out of these boxes per my various jobs. I work off of the one box that I have at 16 terabytes raid 0, & I back up to the JBOD single drives. it all works fine, & I configure everything using Disk Utility.

Yes Type JBOD is one or more drive not in a RAID manage as separate driveOrAlso Spanning Combination of all drive into one logical volume I use Raid 5 with WD red hard drive work great with 4 drives

JBOD or even a mix of different RAID arrays (i.e. a 2 drive RAID1 and a 3 drive RAID5) is possible.

I t does a sector by sector copy independent of the box. Place blank drive in B and good drive in A, push the button twice and done several hours later. I have cloned 4 drives with no problems

Here is a link to a firmware update- Your drive may already have this update but give it a try. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDR-207DBK

I was wondering the same thing. So basically, it's impossible to purchase a 3TB drive that does not come with a plug? Unfortunate. :/

No, it cannot be a JBOD. It forces at least 1 disk to be a data redundant disk.No, any data on the disk will be wiped after putting it into the Drobo as the device formats it with its own filesystem. When you put the disk into the Drobo, it will almost immediately begin formatting it if it isn't one of the drobo's disks.

If its set up as JBOD then no, it will string drives of similar style but different sizes together. If you are striping or mirroring the data as in a RAID, then it will only use the smallest GB size of the drives in the set. That is the RAID standard and if WD is adhering to that standard, that would be how it would work. They have pretty good pre-sales if you were to ask.

Hi John - yes. All drive caddies are present. I would likely put 1TB (or 2TB if I have any spare) drives (wiped clean) on each one. Pete

Well once it is complete you can navigate to the seagate drive through finder and try to open the files to verify they are there. How it is done? I still have not gotten it to work, but seagate sent me some info because I have had trouble. Check seagate's website.

None of these solutions worked. ONLY after i installed Intel Rapid Storage Technology program RAID driver, the partition finally displayed a full 2.7 GB. Maybe because my main system is set to RAID. After that I was able to use Acronis and then merged the two partitions it made into one full one. Hope this helps someone else.

Yes. I have Four 4TB drives in mine and hey all work fine. Drives must be partitioned as GPT (which is nothing unusual) in order to see all the available space.

I would say that only the manufacturer can answer your question. How would they determine if your drive failed prematurely or used up it's 80TB of writes???

I dunno if it's a formatting thing, but I tried to plug in my portable 120GB external drive, and it blanked. My 1GB stick came up with a menu though, so there's gotta be a size limit somewhere, I just don't know where it it.

I havent delt with a 3tb drive as yet, but I would imagine it depends on the motherboard, its bios settings and the operating system. To be honest I wouldnt trust the Sabrent, I had a fairly new hard drive in it and eventually it started making odd noises. I checked the drive with a different connection and it was fine, something had went south on the Sabrent pc board. Ive been using a Rosewill encloser and its been running fine for a couple years.

call the company....they are very helpful or email them. I own two of their drives and have been very happy
