Hi, I have a Western digital 1TB My Book Pro II which all of a sudden won't power on.
When I insert the power cable in the back the light flashes on but that is it. When I hit the reset button the light also comes on but then nothing. This unit has 2x500GB drives. I have them configured in raid 0 to utilize the whole disk. I want to recover the data before RMAing it to WD. Is there some software raid I can use and directly plug them into my desktop's SATA connection? I am assuming if I bought another drive of the same model off ebay I could just switch the drives and recover the data. If I had to buy another drive I would rather get a newer 2TB version. Is it a bad idea to assume I could put the drives into the 2TB chasis and expect them to work? Or (I know this is a long shot) does anyone have one of these drives that they are willing to take apart and put my drives in to recover the data? Any advice would be appreciated.
