You get when the NAS that you decided to store your unwanted images on 'just in case' suddenly won't talk to any other device.
And you've realised retrospectively that you actually moved some images you DID want to it after all.
Knowing they aren't backed up anywhere else (hey, the drives are mirrored - what could go wrong?)
Fortunately it seems just 1 drive of the pair was dead, and presumably this prevented the device serving files. The other - a 2TB Tosh from Mar 2013 - is now sat in a caddy, copying files across to one of 3 4TB WD Mybooks that I use for backup, using an old Linux box that can read the NAS formatted drives. Only another 4 hours to go at around 1GB/minute. Gotta love USB2. And doesn't time go by QUICKLY!
