| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:26 | comment | added | Zozo | I just connected the other HD and I'm getting the same result. I do see that the mac recognizes it as a 2TB drive, but its grayed out just the way the first one was. Any ideas on how to continue from here? Thanks in advance! | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:20 | comment | added | Zozo | Thanks for clarifying! It says 2TB... I guess it could be salvaged. I am going to connect the mirrored one now and fingers crossed I'll be able to access it. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:18 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | Is this for the 4 TB WD RAID or for the #1 disk you took out of it? We need the size the 4 TB WD RAID shows you in Disk Utility. As Ipacheco wrote in the answer: If it shows up as 4 TB each disk alone is useless, if it shows as 2 TB you could try accessing #2 instead of #1. | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:14 | comment | added | Zozo | When looking at Disc Utility, under the 'external' to the left I see the HD, its named" "2TB RAID GRAFIX". This is the name iI gave it. Does it help? | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:09 | comment | added | nohillside♦ | How did the RAID system show up in the Mac, as a 2 TB drive or as a 4 TB drive? | |
| Feb 29, 2020 at 15:06 | comment | added | Zozo | I don't remember setting it in a specific way when I purchased it so I am not really sure... is there a way to find out? I know that one HD is a copy of the other... if that helps. | |
