You may also use ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery to find RAID parameters.

You'll need to have direct access to each of the drives, bypassing the RAID controller, in read-only mode. Best practice would be for you to get a full sector-by-sector clone or image of each drive and then work with the copies. Then, assuming that the RAID had a file system supported by R-Studio, you throw in the RAID config into R-Studio and let it virtually reconstruct the array so that you can copy the data out to a new hard drive.

You'll need to know the drive order, the block size, offsets (particularly for any virtual RAIDs), parity order, parity size and parity delays.

Hello,

I've deleted a raid 5 array from a MSA2324fc, is there a way to recover the data? I didn't recreate the array after.

Thanks
