It's safe to take out drives of the LACIE 4BIG QUADRA Enclosure to image and try reconstructing with RAID Recovery software maybe linux like o R-studio??

Lacie uses proprietary hardware sometimes so i'm not sure if i could do that without screwing the RAID.

I've tried with WD Sharespace and successfully recovered but that's more standard because uses Linux RAID configuration


Any answer can help

Regards,

Yes, but that isn't how I'd do it. ;)

So i can take out the drives, put it on right order, image bad drives and basically i can try recovering the data. without screwing the RAID on the enclosure :3

Hi,

Actually i tried to image the failing drive maybe i will need to use an imager R-studio is not working for that.

My question now is.

Can i Image the failing drive to another and put it right back into the RAID? i'm asking because the RAID set use Hitachi hard drives and i have a good Western Digital and don't know the consequences of using different drives and also LACIE are different of DROBO and others.

Has only one drive failed ? If it was raid5 , you have a channce to reconstruct array get data without failed drive.

I doubt Lacie is comparable with Drobo -- Lacies only look glamourous, but there's nothing extraordinary inside, just a regular RAID array, while Drobos are a real PITA with their BeyondRAID.

Check the RAID level indeed, even if it's unobvious, you can ask the client -- if I recall correctly, by default Lacie 4big Quadra USB 2.0 configured as RAID 0, so if the client has been changing this setting, then it's RAID 5 likely, if not -- RAID 0.

It was a RAID 0, also can mount and everything but the really important info that he needs it's inside the failing drive.

Basically i want to know if i can image the failing drive and replace it in the enclosure to recover the data. I've done that with a WD Sharespace on RAID 0 with the drives connected to a linux based pc.
But here i's kind o different.
