The boot partition is created on both drives to ensure if one drive fails it can still boot from the other one and once a faulty drive is replaced that it is able to start up properly. Research revealed that the partition and files required for the device to start up are in fact NOT in some sort of onboard memory, but in fact in drive(s). Removed BOTH 1tb OEM drives and replaced with 2tb drives… powered on, get what after googling around discovered is called a WLoD (white light of death) – how so if these drives were working fine when i tested them prior to putting them on. however i have all these drives and i wanted to use 2 of the 2tb size i already own. Now if i didnt have 7 hard drives loitering & littering the space i refer to as my hybrid desk-home office space it would make sense. Nonetheless, it became clear that iomega had intended to continue their monetary gain by simplifying the process and taking the complexity of such activity while at the same time having you return to them and shell out more money in their direction. 2- being a hands-on person, this is undoubtedly the best way for me to learn something. This gives me two valid lessons 1- i should just save headaches and RTFM since it often goes this way. clearly not an easy feat as you will find out why.įirst things first, i love learning and trying new things, but one thing about me is that as much as i love learning, i no longer have the time or luxury to try and do extensive research and properly understand things.
#Iomega mhndhd fan replacement upgrade
So i thought, i would replace the 2 x 1tb drives it came bundled with and upgrade them to 2 x 2tb drives with future planning in mind…. however since then, the data i have in my household has grown. I purchased an iomega ix2-200 around a year and a half ago, wonderful device.
