Broken RAID5
Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 4:00 am
Hi,
I'm in the middle of recovering data from broken RAID5 (WD Sharespace 8TB - 4 disks in total). I have extracted the disks and I'm currently creating images of those disks. It seems, that I can't image 1 of the disks at all, since R-studio gives me an error regarding hardware error after few minutes (and after few hundred MB's of image) and stops the process. One disk seems to be fully ok - no errors at all during the image process. 1 disk has few (9 errors until now - read error due to HW-fault etc.). Do you think that I will be able to recover most of my data? I haven't yet tried to take the image from the last of the 4 disks - which I hope will be ok.
Will I be able to reconstruct the RAID from 3 disks, of which at least one seems to be partially faulty?
Best regards,
JM
