[QUOTE="Kias, post: 214873, member: 9496"] Oh... I accidentally configured my HD array to RAID 0. Screwed up my backup. Then a hard drive physically went bad about a year later. That's when I realized I configured it wrong. No software at that time could recover from bad hardware. The only option was to send in the drives to the people in Bunny suits sitting in clean rooms to take apart the drives, stick the platters in their gazillion dollar machines, and recover the data for me. To the tune of two to three thousand dollars. So I packaged up the hard drives, put them in a drawer, and they've been there ever since. Today I was reading some article about who knows what, and it mentioned this software that could recover data from anything, including RAID 0 arrays. That caught my attention for sure. So I looked it up, and it happened to be shareware, so I downloaded it, dug the drives out of the drawer and hooked them up, next thing I know, all my files were there again! Purchased a license so I could retrieve more than 750kb. And the rest is (recovered) history! It's from [url]www.ufsexplorer.com[/url] there's different versions at different price points depending on your needs. I didn't think it would work with the bad hard drive clicking loudly, and windows screaming at me that I have a bad hard drive every five minutes. But it just clunked along, and the next thing I knew, I was looking at photos I haven't seen in a decade! Sent from my Galaxy Nexus [/QUOTE]
