I have a linkstation 220 - mirrored raid.  I think the primary drive went bad because I hear clicking when I start it up.

When it is turned on, the LED blinks 7 times.  The unit does not show up in NAS Navigator at all.

Can I just move Drive 2 into the Drive 1 spot and boot because they are mirrored?

Can I pull the data off the drive using usb-sata adapter or could that corrupt the drive?

Disks can not be swapped between themselves, only a replacement to another blank disk.

You have error I07, read manual

E07, not I07.

Recovery needs to be reinstalled, it will result in data loss.
PM me for TFTP / Boot Images / Recovery files  LSRecovery.exe file.

E07 in the manual says firmware failure but I've read elsewhere that 7 flashes means bad ram, bad nic or hdd controller failure.

If the drives are mirrored then I don't understand why there would be data loss if one of the drives is still good.

Is there any way to pull the good drive and connect it to a usb-sata adapter and pull the data off?

Have you tried pulling drive 1 and rebooting? It could just be causing the system to not boot.
**A single copy of data, even on a RAID array, is NOT a backup! Hard drive failure is not a question of IF, but WHEN! Don't take my word for it, take Google's!**
