I had a 4 drive NAS die on me....I bought a Buffalo replacement.
I had my first setup running under JBOD (just a bunch of disks).
When I opened the new unit, the instructions stated it by default was set to JBOD
I followed the instructions (all pics, no words)....installed drives in slots, plugged in unit, turned on.
At this point the instructions showed pushing a second button below the power button....I did...lights began flashing as shown in
instruction sheet......after 5 minutes I got scared.....re read the instructions...no notices or warnings....
YEP....it reformatted all four drives in a linux language ready to setup up a array
I haven't done anything to the drives since.
I have installed Piriform Recuva in attempts to find my files (actually several thousand pictures).....states it can't recognize the language on the drive.
I does want me to reformat....but my gut says that most likely will remove any chances of recovering my files......
HELP....!!!!
