[SOLVED] Raid 0 disks recovery

Re: Raid 0 disks recovery

I believe plugging the drives into a new motherboard would ONLY work if the new motherboard has identical RAID controllers compared with the motherboard the drives were installed in to begin with.

Generally I believe data is not recoverable from a RAID 0 array unless you can do this, or unless you use a data recovery service or software. This is the major disadvantage of RAID 0.

R-Studio can do this. Note that this is commercial software but has a limited function trial version. I don't know how the limit will effect this type of recovery. I have not used this product myself.

The difficulty of recovery and only modest performance improvement are reasons why RAID 0 is not generally recommended for desktop use.

R-studio in the demo is limited tro recovering and viewing files up to 64kB in size, to get the larger you must register the software.

Thanks for info - will give it a try. If friend wants data really badly then $80 is what he has to pay.
