Ok guys...
Got a small problem and it's basically the fault of the design of the Lacie2big.
It's a NAS box, but it isn't really.
I've got other NAS boxes and they've easy to use, you stick your drive in and access it for configuration. Everything is in the hardware basically, but not with the Lacie2big.
For some god awful reason the hardware on the 2big is just that, hardware or the just the interface, everything is stored on the drives themselves, something that Lacie does not mention.
So if you decide to upgrade the 2big with new drives you cannot do it at all, or you can but you've got to purchase the drives from Lacie ONLY at a ridiculously marked up cost.
So my problem is that I didn't know that this is how things worked, I pulled the drives with the intention of putting larger ones in, of course I formatted them, thus killing the system.
My request is a disc image of the drives from someone who has the 2Big so I can restore the 2big to working order again.
PM me please if you've got access to the disc image, I'll give you access to my NAS box so you can upload them to me, need both images, and I'll even throw you $5 for your time.
Removing the drives voided the warranty, and lacie will not help, their suggestion is to buy new drives from them, and they want $99.99 plus shipping for a 500gig drive.
any help is appreciated, thanks!
