LinkStation Duo - Rebuild Raid 1 Array
« on: January 18, 2010, 02:09:51 PM »
   

Hi,

 

I have just received a disk error on my Raid 1 array and need to rebuild it. However, before I do so I wanted to check if it will wipe all the data or not? Really worried about losing all my data so want to be doubley sure!

 

Thanks,

 

Kranos

You wil be fine.  You will not lose any data.  It will just restructure the RAID back onto that drive.

Is that true for a Raid 5 setup as well?

 

Thanks!

Yes, when a HDD is being rebuilt to an array it is only that HDD that is formatted and then the data from the other 3 drives is rebuilt on to the freshly formatted drive.
