When you look at the attached screenshot you'll see at the bottom left several "virt-mdadm" sets. When I highlighted one of those, 5 HarddiskVolumes became highlighted in blue (amongst the 5 Seagate drives you see listed). I created a virtual block RAID 1 and added the blue volumes to that, but as yet I cannot tell if it has found any RAID parameters or what is going on. (the detection has only completed 3% after running 12 hours)

I tried to place the drives in the same SATA port order as they were in the NAS, but I don't know if that matters. My recovery PC only had 4 SATA ports, so 2 drives are running from a SATA expansion card. These are the bottom 2 Seagate drives shown in the screenshot.
The original issue was 3 quick power outages that made the ReadyNAS lose the RAID config. All the drives are SMART healthy but I have about 1TB of pix I cannot lose and I assumed that trying to rebuild the array on the NAS would destroy the data. The original settings (as I remember) was set to an XRAID2 with dual redundancy (recover from 2 drive failures).
What do you recommend I do from here? Thank you for any suggestions since I know nothing about getting R-Studio to detect the RAID parameters. I ran the free ReclaiMe, also to no avail.
