  Raid 1 Mounted as 2 Hard Drives

  Posted by Matt Dunne on December 8, 2014 at 12:54 pm

  Hi everyone, I”m hoping you can help me. I have a Lacie 2 Big Thunderbolt Raid that I use for a backup. I removed the disks and put new ones into the enclosure. I have an external dual drive enclosure that I can use for accessing the other drives from the previous raid. It has been working and today when I plugged the drives of the old raid into the enclosure it mounted as 2 separate drives but with the exact same name and same files instead of a raid. I’m on a Mac and checked disk utility and sure enough they weren’t Raid slices but separate drives. Has this happened to anyone before and is there a reason it would do this all of a sudden?
  I’m also wondering if it’s the enclosure I’m using to access the drives. It doesn’t say anything directly about supporting raid 1 so I’m wondering if a different dock is recommended? I’m using these for access to archive files and to periodically plug is so they can be synced with Back Blaze.

  Thanks in advance.
