icy box RD-3680 setup as hard drive storage only not raid !!

[dave11674]

hi guys
i just bought this to put my 8 hard drives i have knocking about into

http://www.raidsonic.de/products/external_cases/soho_raid/index_en.php?we_objectID=1012

i dont want to use raid as all my drive already have sensitive data on them

ive put them into the unit
but dontwant to press any buttons in case it tries to initialize them into RAID !

basically all i want it to do is let me access each drive as tho its plugged into my main pcits plugged in via USB 3 at the moment

any help here on how i can get this thing to just let me access each drive as normal in windows would be a great help

thanks

dave

Most housings id imagine would let you access each drive without building a raid array. However the site is not very helpful.

Id contact them firstly. If not very helpful or no respomce, back up a HDD and move over. Back up another.

Thier forum is here which might shed more light on it http://icyboxforum.de/index.php?sid=...07de9ff54157a0
