FANTEC QB-X2U31R 2-BAY 3.5" RAID
2. Can I copy data to the disk during RAID 1
rebuilding?
Answer: Yes, you can but it is not suggested doing that, and it would
extend the time of rebuilding.
3. Under RAID 1 mode, if one disk crashes, can my PC read the other
disk correctly?
Answer: Yes, the PC still can access to the healthy disk. If you want
to be sure your data are safe, you make a backup before starting
RAID 1 rebuild procedure.
4. How can I protect my data if the FANTEC QB-X2U31R crashes?
Answer: If your device is running in SINGLE or RAID 1 mode, you
simply can remove the disks out of the device and connect them
to some other external or internal interface in order to access
you data. E.g. you can put the disks into an USB docking station to
backup your data.
If your device is running in RAID 0 mode, you have to replace the
crashed FANTEC QB-X2U31R either by a new or repaired one. Take out
both HDD and make sure to put the HDD 1 or HDD 2 labels on
corresponding disks. In this way you avoid to mix them up at upcoming
re-installation.
After your device is replaced, please connect the new (repaired)
FANTEC QB-X2U31R without any disks inside by USB 3.1 cable to a
running PC. Then set the QB-X2U31R to RAID 0 mode and press the
RAID mode confirm button until the device power off.
Now please, put the HDD 1 and HDD 2 into corresponding slots and
power on the device once again.
Now you should be able to access to your data without any data loss.
