RAID 5 Recovery after multiple reformats
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2014 1:33 pm
Hi,
I've (had) been using a Patriot Javelin S4 NAS with 4 3TB Seagate Barracuda hard drives set in RAID 5 as a media server. On the weekend the NAS disconnected from my network and would not connect even after a reboot and reset. Received the error message that the volume was not detected through the browser.
In frustration and curiosity I clicked on "quick setup" and it reformatted my hard drives. At this point, I turned off the NAS. Got in touch with a software engineer who recommended R-System to recover the data from the drives on the NAS.
However, when I turned the NAS back on I received the error message "No volume detected," so I clicked "quick setup" again and it still says "No volume detected."
I've sent the NAS off for repair; my question is can R-Studio still retrieve the data/content from RAID 5 after multiple reformats to the hard drives?
Thank you in advance.
