My Linkstation Pro Duo (LS-W2.0TGL/R1) has two 1 TB Hitachi drives made back in 2009. One of them is starting to die, throwing up some errors (I forget what error exactly as I have pulled them from the LinkStation - after backing up the data). My goal is to do 2 things.
a) replace these drives with new 2 TB drives
and
b) completely erase these drives so they can be sent off the recycle depot
A few questions ..
1) is 2 TB the max I can put in this old LS? I plan to put them in Raid 1 config.
2) how do I remove the data on each of these old drives? I can't seem to connect to them via standard windows OS so I can read/format/erase (would like to use DBAN)
