Hello
I own 2 Buffalo NAS linkstation.
One linkstation 500 Go that works fine 7/7-24/24, this one is hosting my music library.
I also own a linkstation pro duo 1To (2x500 Go HDD), I bought the pro duo because of the RAID functionality.
The purpose of the pro duo was to make sure my data were safe.
I experienced a problem with this pro duo station.
The inbuilt controller failed, the station was starting and stopping after less than 1 minute.
I had to return the station it was under warranty and it has been replaced but I have never been able to retrieve the data.
So my question is
Is there any way to access the data stored on RAID 1 disks without the NAS controller.
I mean can I connect it to a PC (Linux if so what distribution or Windows) and have a full access to my data stored on the hard disk drives.
Is there any software to install for it ?
I did try last time to connect it on a Linux box in order to mount the file system but it seems to be a proprietary file system here :(.
Until I'm not sure I can retrieve my data in case of hardware failure I'm a bit suspicious on the usage I can do of this station.
Thanks for your help
Yves
