Hello,
I have to replace my D5-300 because it can't connect to computers anymore. I have 5 8Tb HDD in a RAID0 configuration. These HDD work are ok, so all my data are still there. Is there a possibility for changing only the D5-300 with a new one without losing all data?
Thanks

Hi! If your hard disk is working normally, the data will not be damaged if you replace it with the same model device.

Why not a Raid5 or 6, at least you have the security that your data is safe, even when one HDD stops working.
Raid 5 - one HDD can fail. Raid6 - 2 HDD's can fail.
Raid0 is only for the Speed but if one HDD fails, everything is lost

It means that the 5 HDD are in RAID0 configuration and that doesn't depend on the D5-300 configuration itself?

RAID 0 is RAID 0, it always works in the same way, no matter which device.
