I use a Terramaster D4-320 for my media storage that I run through a secondary PC as my Plex media server. Long story short; I recently lost my entire library (thanks Drobo 🫠) and finished rebuilding it yesterday.

I use a shitty old laptop between my seedbox and my DAS so that I can monitor for any viruses etc. before hosting from my secondary PC. When I got my D4 I set up a RAID 1 build across the disks via my old laptop, and started moving my data. But plugging it into my secondary PC after moving my media, it does not show up under This PC.

I can see the 4 disks under the Disk Drives in device management, but can't access them. Is there a way I can read the RAID 1 with my PC? Like importing foreign drives or something? I don't really fancy redoing all 4TB of that data again.

And if I can get it to read, will I have the same issue in future swapping between my PC and laptop when I inevitably add more media to the storage?

I could use my laptop as my plex media server but that's not really ideal for my setup.

Terramaster D4-320 plugged into PC but not visible?

I have set up my D4 and partitioned the drives and configured the RAID setup etc. I've had it connected to my laptop which is where I move my media from my seedbox to the drives so I could rebuild my Plex Library after losing it all recently (RIP).

Everything has been great, but now that I have unplugged it from my laptop and plugged it into my secondary PC that I used to run my Plex server I can't see my Terramaster RAID under This PC.

I can see that it's detecting the drives as they appear under the Disk Drives. What am I doing wrong here? Is my media PC not detecting the RAID for some reason?
