QNAP TR-004 I bought a TR-004 QNAP last fall and with new drives?! but just 2 days ago can't be recognized or read [Unknown File System!?]? The only answer it gives after rebuilding the RAID (forwhat if un readable?) it unrecognized in Windows Explorer and even the QNAP External RAID manager. I trusted QNAP crap load of data GONE
So if I put a 16TB HDD inside with all my precious data and then I insert another one (new, empty one) next to it, will it back up the 1st drive and copy all of its data to the 2nd one? (if I use RAID 1 ofc)
perhaps a dumb question, but not clear if this TR-004 work independently of a NAS? curious if I can use it as a redundancy box via Thunderbolt/USBC. thanks!
@@YourReviewChannel perfect thanks much. Long term seeing any issues with it? *some reviews indicate it unmounts often and randomly. Curious what (if any) issues you’ve seen with yours over the years. Cheers m8! Thanks
Out of curiosity, what happens if someone (curious kid), flips switches on the back? Does the RAID re-initialize wiping all data? If that’s the case, seems risky to have the DIP switches exposed like that. Just a thought. Thanks for the video!
Why I want a software way? I prefer via hardware but the software have something to check the health of the drives, so how can run the software and the hardware setup at the same time?

It does work independently like a Nas. I use it as a Time Machine backup on my Mac.

Great question. Yes, nothing will happen. The drives will not reformat themselves. It just picks up where it left off.
there is a SET button too, you need to press it to confirm it, it is printed on the instruction label on the top.

My concern is this unit is too old 6 years or more ? Maybe they release a new model soon?
It’s still a good workhorse. I think until SSD memory becomes more affordable and stable. This is still gonna be this to go to.
Will it work with wd gold 20 tb?
It should no problem
