Hello,
I am using a DNS-323 as a RAID set-up. I have three SATA hard drives and what I would like to do is be able to keep two in the enclosure like normal, while replacing one with the third every month or so. This way, I have two hard drives that switch in/out of the mirroring position and one staying in as a constant. Also, I would like to be able to read the third, odd-drive-out of the enclosure through USB. I have tried this using ExtFS Manager, though have not had any luck in mounting the drive. I am using a Mac and am not sure what I am doing right or wrong concerning these issues. What do you think?
Thank you in advance.

Hi KWS
If you have CLI (TELNET/SSH) interface going then the easiest way would be to do the following:
1/ Do the following through CLI:
mdadm -f /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2 mdadm -r /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2
2/ Shutdown DNS-323, swap the drives in the left hand slot
3/ Restart DNS-323 and do the following through CLI:
mdadm -a /dev/md0 /dev/sdb2
It appears that sometimes a second reboot is required after the newly inserted disk has been sync'ed just to get rid of the amber light.
As to reading the third drive, I run off XP and do this using Ext2-IFS.
Hope this helps.
