Can't find 2nd drive on NAS

uck51js9zml2yt · 2017-12-12 23:18:06

I got a 2x3tb buffalo linkstation 220d today. The problem is that I can only see 1 drive. Has anyone any suggestions? I pulled the drives to reinsert them but still couldn't see them both. TIA

You don't see physical drives or you judging by storage capacity available?

Note: The default RAID mode is RAID 1(mirror). See page 45

RAID 1
Combines 2 drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical data is
written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long as one drive
in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered
