I’m missing my datas. The folder is empty. Where did my datas files go? I have WD drives in a gigabit NIC server. I tried rebooting but the data is still not in the folder’s storage volume. Help me get my data back. I use SMB networking with my WD hdds. 4 drives with many GBs in my RAM.

Oh yeah? Well when I lose my data I’m going to scream at so many innocent support people and demand 15 nanosecond updates as well as a war room conference call until my GBs are back. I didn’t pay for Platinum Silver Omega Babysitter Xtreme 99.999% uptime support contract for nothing!!! I don’t want …
