I'm new to this forum and I'm not sure I'm posting this in the right place....

I have a 2 terabyte (it's actually 2 one terabyte removable drives) LaCie network hard drive. It died about a month ago and after a two week back and forth with a LaCie CS rep I decided to make my own attempt to recover the data. I have a feeling the issues isn't the drives but rather the hardware that the drives mount in. I purchased a Sabrent external USB drive kit to see if i could get the drive to mount to my MacBook Pro, but no luck. The drives power up with no problem and with no unusual noise. I can see both drives in Disk Utility but only have the format option.

Anybody have any suggestions?

thanks.

Hi,
You don't see the files because the Lacie-box use's it's own filesystem. You need to seek out a pro that is familiar with that system.
Where are you located?

Guessing by that comment it will be a JBOD

You could try R-Studio demo software?
They do a Windows, Mac & Linux version

I would not recommend working with original drives, big chance for creating more problems . You should make images and work with those images.

If you can upload detailed photos of the internals of the enclosure, and if you are comfortable taking measurements with a multimeter, I may be able to help you repair your enclosure, or at least find out what is wrong with it.
