Rescuing old PATA (3Ware) disks
Posted: Thu May 27, 2010 6:41 am
Hi,
I have an odd problem:
I have a RAID5 of 4 PATA disks originally running on 3Ware RAID card.
The disks themselves have been rather well preserved (in a safe place away from me and the elements).
I also have the 3ware RAID card --somewhere. But, it will be a major effort to put together a computer that will work with that OLD 3ware card again.
What seems simpler to me is this: Connect those PATA disks to an PATA/IDE cable (one at a time) and get their images.
Now, my question is this: Can R-Studio somehow reconstruct a RAID from those individual images and then extract the contents?
[Or, is there some other solution that can do this?]
