WD My Passport 1TB not detected, won't spin.

Hi Ichinisan I'm sorry to hear about such problems with a WD drive. Linux is a good idea as it works differently and treats partitions in a different way, moreover, it is a safe way to try data recovery on the drive as it will either see the files or not and there is next to no risk of data...

RAID 5 with 3x WDC Black 4TB

Hi davidst99, Generally, I agree with the guys above, RAID 5 should be fine, but providing more information as to what do you plan to use your system for would be helpful. As @Red_Squirrel suggested with RAID 10 you would get better performance at the price of storage space as it uses two...
