Very strange. A 3 plus year old WHS v1 installation. I use an old Sony P4 mobo and a PCI card to add 4 sata ports. Using a couple older EIDE 500mb drives, and a couple 1TB SATA drives. Recently a couple of the SATA HDD's have come up as 'missing', so I've removed them from the pool (via WHS) and replaced them physically. Added the new drives to the pool, no issues. However, I hooked up one of the 'missing' drives I replaced (using a HDD 'cheater' connector) and I CAN access it! I'm running checkdisk on it now.
I assumed that if a drive showed up as missing from the WHS pool, that it had failed. Apparently this isn't the case?
Any guidance here?
Thanks!
