Hard Drive Replacement

If a drive fails, NAS Navigator2 and Settings will show an error message.
Notes:
• Do not unplug a running drive. Dismount it first or shut down the TeraStation before swapping a working
drive. If you remove the drive without properly dismounting it, data may be lost or the TeraStation may
malfunction.
• Use a Buffalo OP-HDBST series drive of the same size or larger (the same size if using RMM) as the
replacement drive. If a larger drive is used, the extra space will not be usable in a RAID array.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of
metal before handling any sensitive electronic parts.
• After a drive is replaced, it will take about 30 minutes before normal file reading and writing are restored.
Settings may not be accessible during this period.
• Do not change the order of the hard drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing
it with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
• If a new drive is not recognized after installing it, click Rediscover Disk in Settings.
• For TS1400D models, do not replace 2 or more drives at the same time with new drives while the TeraStation
is on. If you do, it may cause unexpected behavior.
