Title: Need compatible replacement for ls-wx2.0tl since controller went bad
Post by: cescarbr on November 12, 2016, 08:04:01 AM
The controller is bad, won't boot, and can't be accessed.  The LED error lights indicate it is a bad controller card.  I have removed the 2 drives and labeled them per the slot they were in.  I need to purchase a new diskless unit that I can place these 2 drives in and be able to access the data. 

Please let me know which drives or models are compatible with this obsolete one so I can get back in business.  Thank you in advance. :P

Disks from an ls-wxl are only compatible with another ls-wxl

Thanks for the quick reply Davo.  Do you or anyone else know where I can purchase a diskless ls-wxtl unit as I haven't been able to find any. 

Also, as an alternative do you know of a method where I can plug one of the drives into a PC in order to recover the data?  I know the format of the drive is Linux based and don't have a Linux computer, but I thought there might be a utility that I can run on a Windows PC to perform this?

Connect the disks to a windows PC and use UFS explorer to recover the data.

I found a LS-WVL/E model online and wondered if it would work with the drives from the bad LS-WX2.0TL/R1 controller?
