Looks like my Drivestation's MBT just took too many errors and has been corrupted during a Mass Copy of data. Lost about 2 TB of data and over 300 hours of work. Spent 100 dollars on a program to recover Raid 5 drives, looks like the program was able to recover 100gb of data but its all corrupted. Have another program (Test Trail) which requires the Raid 5 settings of the Drivestation, anyone know what these setting are - paritylayout - right/left asyncronous/syncronous. The Stripe Block Size and so forth.
Figured Raid 5 would have been my best backup solution.....should have stuck with Raid 1. So surprised what issues Raid 5 has after looking it up!
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for your troubles, GCKRULL. I'll check into those settings for you. RAID isn't a substitute for backups, and if the issue was data corruption, it could have happened on a RAID1 array as well. RAID only protects against single hard disk failure.
You may want to consider contacting a data recovery company. We suggest Drivesavers ( http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ ).
I'm not familiar with that model number... could you post the full model number from the back of the device? Also, where was this device purchased?
