Can I swap good drives into a new enclosure?
Posted by Doug Stuckey on October 29, 2018 at 6:34 pmSonnett Fusion DX800 Raid is not powering up. I’m going to have the enclosure replaced. Can I use the exsisting drives and keep all of the data as is

I believe these were made by JMR a long time ago.Looking for the least expensive 8 bay array on Amazon is not going to help you.

what do you mean with not powering up?
Perhaps your power supply unit is bust,
and you have to swap just the power supply. You can get it from Sonnet directly.cheers
