Apparently, due to my carelessness, my Synology DS420j mobo got submerged into water which permanently damaged it. I still need to check if the HDDs are ok, as they were not submerged.
Looking to buy a working Synology DS420j or similar.
You can get a USB SATA powered enclosure I guess if all you wanna do is test the HDDs?
Aside: how did you end up submerging it?
My conjecture: He kept it on the floor and the room got flooded due to rain. The motherboard at the bottom got submerged but not the HDDs.
Same thing happened to me, but my PC didn’t have anything at the bottom so it didn’t get damaged. It was a very sad day. My whole house on the first floor was flooded with a couple of inches of water. I came back from vacation at 9 pm after driving for 8 hours. It was a nightmare. A rat had completely ruined my complete house and rain had flooded my house.
