Bricked NAS 220

October 25th, 2013, 16:18

Greetings,
I have managed to brick my Black Armour NAS 220. Both hard drives are blank. Is there ANY way to load something...ANYTHING on this POS. At first it wouldn't discover with the Seagate tool. Had dhcp running and it got an IP, just wouldn't respond to ANY commands at all. So I plopped them in my Win7 machine and ran my old trusty XP boot disk and deleted the non-dos partitions on both drives. Have I ended up with 2 very expensive blank 3tb drives? This thing didn't work correctly from the word go. Wouldn't talk to my domain, had trouble authenticating, etc. I have just about given up. Maybe I'll just put one in my HR-21 and hope it sees it as there's a 2tb limit on that. Oh well. Live and learn I guess.

in order to work with Black Armour 220, you will need
1- winhex
2- r-studio

and depends if you were using Raid0 or 1 (can be discovered by winhex)

then rebuild the Raid, and get your data from it.

IF YOU KNOW what are you doing - And you don`t need a Degree in Nuclear Physics to do that

Good luck :>

just send it back to the shop and get a replacement if you don't need the data.

Factory reset first and then check on another system. If no joy, replace it (RMA) as there is no data on it. This would be what I would do in this order... Note : it is not guaranteed for these puppies to work on every environment.
