I can also confirm that the 3Tb drives (Hitachi) do not work in the Ensemble either (It just repeatedly gives 4 short beeps - different to the formatting ones)


I'm just about to add a TwinStore to my system (to replace the Ensemble) and I understand that I have to do a full backup from the ensemble, switch it off, restart the Core and then restore to the TwinStore. Is that really the only way?

Couple of future questions:-

If I have 3 storage devices (say a C15, a TwinStore and an Ensemble) which one will it save newly imported media to? I'm guessing it's the one with the most free space or can you set a 'Primary'?

If I have 2 storage devices (a c15 & a TwinStore) both full of music; can you backup each one separately? or can you only just backup all the music in the system? If that is the case will it split backups across disks?

Is the restore clever enough to only restore missing albums from the failed unit?

I guess if that is the case a work around is to switch off all other storage units when doing a backup?

Thanks
Duncan
