I have this box for around a year butt unfortunatly now it's damaged (some electrical failure) and nowone can repair this. I don't need the box i just need to recover the data. So i opened the box and remove the drives( 4 IDE hitachi 500G that are all ok-no bad sectors). Now i have putt all 4 of them in a PC and i try to rebuid the matrix using UFS Explorer. I have limited experience with this butt after many hours i have found that it's a RAID5 using a stripe size of 4K and i think that the parity distribution it's left symetric(backward dynamic). I can see a fat32 partition of 1.38TB butt i get only junk data from it.
There are many other option from ufs explorer unfortunatly i don't know how the controler works
i have to set stripe size 4k, 8k,.......128k ......- i guess it's 4k
Parity distribution: left symetric(backward dynamic), left asymmetric(backward), right symetric(foward dynamic), right asymmetric(forward)
Parity lenght(stripes)=? i have used 1
Controler rezerved sectors information
from start=? i have use 0
at the end=? i have used 0
and of course the order of the drives(i know the order in the box butt i don't know if the controler it's using drive 1 as first drive in the matrix drive 2 as second,...... etc)
any tech from buffalo or someone who knows how this box works please help. thanks in advance
