Hello,
I am a relative novice here but good at following directions. Here is my situation. I have a HP EX495 with 4 disks. After a series of power outages, my WHS stopped working. When I boot up, The lights go all blue but then after a few minutes the health lights starts blinking red, the disk lights turn off and eventually the health light goes solid red.
I got a Sata Dock and connected each drive to my laptop. Did a chkdsk that claimed it did some repairs to the system drive. The others showed no sign of issues. Put them all back in and again goes all blue for a bit but then dies.
I am considering switching to a Synology DS412+ NAS since I am pretty sure I can use my dock to get all the data off my WHS drives. But before I spend the money was wondering if anyone has any idea on what my issue might be.
Let me know if there is any more detailed information I can provide but remember, I really don't have any expertise in this area.
Thanks much.
