mikedpitt420 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 So I lost 8 drives due to a completely moronic move and I have been repairing them one by one. I do not know which drives were which. I have been de soldering the BIOS chips of my old drives onto new PCBs and so far so good. I have managed to resurrect 3 of 8 dead drives so far. What I am curious about is this: when I finally get to my old parity drive and I plug it in and mount it, what will I see? I just was hoping to have some idea so when I do get to that one I know to just skip it. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 It will fail to mount. Quote Link to comment
mikedpitt420 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. I'll have no idea if the solder was bad or if it was the parity drive Quote Link to comment
Frank1940 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) When you get a drive that won't mount, set it aside (With a post-it note on it) and go onto the next one. If you don't get a second drive that fails to mount, you have the parity drive. If you get more than one drive, that is the time to rethink the issue.
