We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I trust the 2 years old drive isn't failure. But it did. What can i do. It's extremely high price in Turkey but my data is much more important.

And I want to ask any NAS Drive can use like consumer disk? Because I'm using like consumer drive.

How to take data back. Anyone know that.

If the drive isn't working and the data is important, stop powering it on and store it somewhere safe until you decide what to do.
