Hello there, I have a question about swapping HDDs out of LaCie 1Big Dock (TB3 version). I use two of them in two different locations. I've read in a review that the TB2 version of 2Big Dock Raid units create a unique Raid ID for each disk inserted and, unbeknown to the user, if you swap the disks out and store them as archives, you cannot just put them back in and expect to read the content. The box will attempt to write a new Raid ID to the reinserted disks and essentially wipe them. Now, my 1Big Docks are still under warranty so I haven't swapped any disks yet. My question is, in the future when the HDDs are full and I'd like to take them out to store them as archives somewhere, will I be able be to read them again in other enclosures down the road?
The 1Big's design seems to let users easily change disks. It'd be a pity if the disks swapped out cannot be read somewhere else or stored safely as archives. Thank y'all for your inputs and time!
