Replying to RAID 5 Recovery
I am hoping someone else here knows much about Raid 5. I have posted on some computer forums, but haven't heard anything back yet.
I was consistently having my Port 3 fail on my Raid 5 Array (4 1TB Hitachi Drives)
I called Asus and they told me to flash my BIOS because that was likely the problem.
I flashed the BIOS and it caused 2 of my drives (ports 3 and 4) to become "failed"
I uninstalled Intel Matrix Storage and Installed Intel Rapid Store.
Both "failed" drives now appear but show up as "missing"
They appear separately from the RAID, however with a slightly truncated serial number as "available non-raid" drives.
I would love to recover the data on these discs if possible. The
last time I did a backup was in December, so I don't want to lose all
of my data (photos, video, documents, etc) from January onward as it is
valuable to me.
I feel like the discs were never failed, just a software problem, and I would like to get this data back!
