Raid 5 Partition Setting for Data Recovery on Drivestation HD-S4-TSU2/R5

[GCKRULL]

   

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?
