I awoke this morning to find my WHS v1 server missing two drives out of 5. These two drives represent 3TB of a total DE drive pool 5 TB.
My drives are as follows:
SATA Hitachi 1TB drive Missing
ATA Samsung 500GB drive Healthy
SATA Hitachi 1TB drive Healthy
ATA WDC 500GB drive Healthy
SATA SEAGATE 2TB Drive missing
I have rebooted twice with no difference. I haven't had a chance to reboot with a monitor attached to see if the MB is detecting them. These drives apparently wet missing overnight while I was doing a robocopy from my desktop PC of a mounted WHS backup of my laptop which also had a HDD crash this week. I really, really need to try to see if my backups are intact or else I am really SOL. I am hoping this is either a bad power feed to the drives or even possible the SATA channel on the MB failed. Since these two drives are different make and size the odds have that there is somehting alse causing the issue and my data on the drives are inctact should hopefully be in my favor.
So before I start to to do try to figure out what the issue is, can anyone one with DE experience help me to know what I need to check and try and especially what NOT to do?
