D2-320 - Ejecting one drive ejects both (Single Mode)

Post by FraPraD2 »

Hello,

i recently bought a D2-320 and filled it with two 16TB harddisks from Toshiba (N300).
I use the D2-320 in Single mode, because i want to use both harddisk indepently.

Both drives are in the case, and when i start the device everything is alright.
If i want to stop just one of the harddisks (safe eject under Windows) then both harddisk get ejected.
Same problem if i use the supported hot swap. If i pull out one harddisk out of the case then the other gets ejected under Windows 10 22H2 or 11 23H2.

I am aware that i simply could do:
1) eject both harddisks under windows
2) pull out one of the harddisks
3) turn on the other harddisk case
Same way would apply if i want to pull in the second harddisk.
But this isn't the way i would go, because its totaly stupid to do it that way.

Is their any possibilty two change this behaviour?

Under the FAQ section i didn't find a solution.

Sorry, i have to correct my first post.
The D2-320 has no Hot Swap, that i've tested one time.
This was my mistake.

But the problem, that both drives get ejected when i just safe eject one drive is there.

This is normal because it is a RAID device and when you safely eject any one drive, both drives will be ejected.

I was considering a device such as this to expand my system. However, if it cannot recognise single drives - as claimed in the product in the product documentation - as a pure single drive, it would seem pointless. {Hint: The OP said it was in single drive mode.}

Thanks for the reply.
If i would use the D2-320 in RAID-Mode (0 or 1) or JBOD, then it would make sense.
But as is wrote and Gremlin confirmed it, i just use the Single Mode.

The installed Controller inside the DAS should know this, otherwise the Single Mode would be superfluous.
