2 disk lacies use a standard RAID0 configuration, or occasionally a JBOD. 4 disk LAcies use a completely different configuration, these cannot be rebuild in winhex as winhex does not support the complex RAID mode required.

I just finished a rebuild of a LaCie 2x250gb drive in winhex with no problems.


That is fine - 2x drives mean It's a Lacie BIG disk. The original poster was talking about a Lacie BIGGER disks - these have 4 disks in a RAID configuration that is impossible to unscramble in WinHex.

I've done a couple of these Bigger disks before, as far as I remember the disks are in pairs of RAID 0, and then spanned.

Works almost allways with winhex or ufs-explorer.
Most difficult is stripe-size and start-sector.

I have a solution, and it can not be built in Winhex unless I am missing something

I had that drive (LaCie Bigger 4x250GB) it turned out that config was RAID0 + JBOD

JBOD[Raid0(Disk1,Disk2),Raid0(Disk3,Disk4)]

Raid0 with 64KB block size
