How to manually mount a USB Hard Disk, including a disk that was part of a RAID1 array - SynologyWiki

This wiki shows you how to manually mount a USB Drive enclosure containing a Hard Disk. The term "mount" is the Linux term for adding a data device to a system so that its contents are navigatable. The procedure also describes the steps necessary if the Hard Drive in the USB enclosure was previously part of a working RAID 1 configuration (e.g. removed from another Synology Server). The same procedure will also probably work for RAID 0 drives, but I have not tested that.
