Gonna leave it here because someone might find it useful and my googling didn't come up with the answers that I liked.

So. I successfully switched my TerraMaster D2-310 from RAID1 to SINGLE mode, where each physical drive corresponds to a distinct logical one. Despite multiple sources stating that such a switch requires wiping the drives, I found a method that worked for me. Keep in mind that results may vary, and this might not apply to all enclosures.

Here are the steps:

  1. Power down the enclosure, disconnect it from your PC, and remove Drive 2 from the enclosure.

  2. Connect Drive 2 to your PC motherboard using a SATA cable.

  3. Turn on your PC and ensure Drive 2 functions properly, allowing you to read and write data.

  4. With the enclosure powered off, switch the MODE setting on the back of the device to SINGLE mode. WARNING: Do not, DO NOT press the Reset button, as it will most likely wipe your drive!

  5. Power on the enclosure with Drive 1 inside and connect it to the same PC where Drive 2 is already connected.

  6. Windows cannot mount Drive 1 due to its signature matching that of Drive 2, which is desired.

  7. Open Disk Management, locate your "Offline Disk," right-click on it, and select "Online." This action changes the signature of Drive 1, effectively removing it from RAID.

  8. You can now navigate to the root of each disk and delete any hidden folders containing RAID information. I removed the 2 folders starting with a "." (dot).

That's it. Aside from other obvious benefits of NOT having to tie 2 drives together, I believe I will get better longevity of my second drive now because I will use it to back up only the important stuff once a day.

Multilingual support in FSWizard is coming!

January 10, 2024, 10:21 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

Change long overdue. FSWizard now has support for multiple interface languages.

So far there is only 3 available, and only in the web app at app.fswizard.com

The only languages I know is English and Russian, so please let me know if the current Spanish translation has issues and you would like to help me fix it.

I very much would like to outsource this work to native speakers, so I will be releasing the language files shortly.

HSMAdvisor v2.7.2

September 17, 2023, 4:49 pm by Eldar Gerfanov (Admin)

Good news, everybody!

HSMAdvisor now has a G and M-Code reference page:

Also in this update, I have fixed error messages that appeared after the clean install.
These weren't critical as they appeared only once, but I assume they caused a few new users not to continue using the app, which is quite unfortunate.

The latest update can be downloaded from here: https://hsmadvisor.com/download

Thanks to everybody who sends feedback and suggestions!
