RAID 50 XOR Set Separator

[data-medics]

I've started work on a project to brute force XOR Hex values pulled from members of RAID 50 sets and separate them into their respective RAID 5 sets. The need for this came up when I had to handle a 16 drive array with no idea which drives belonged in which set.

I've posted a sample of what I'm putting together here on my forum: https://www.data-medics.com/forum/raid- ... t1036.html

I'd post it here too, but I lack the necessary admin privileges to embed an Excel sheet into a post. Looking for any input, suggestions, or anyone who'd like to be involved with this project. Getting into bigger arrays, this might get to be a mess.

You can probably use entropy analyzer from our ReclaiMe Pro to solve half of the problem. You can use it to convert 16 disks into 8 pairs, from which point manual analysis should be fairly easy.

Hi ,
I did send a Eval Request To Reclaime but never used the tool .Will do again jared has a good experience in his forum also for your tool

Sometimes better and faster to use service fw data located at the beginning or end of each hdd, where you can find order of ther drives:

Unfortunately not all controllers write that information to the drives...
