Hello.
I have heard about the Rstudio software for rebuilding the raid structures. I got this WD Studio 2TB which shows the following error in R studio when attached. I have attached the two drives, out the 1st drive as 1st and 2nd drive as second in virtual Raid. Auto detect says that it should have minimum 3 drives? Why 3? Raid 0 is of 2 drives.
and it shows me NTFS when i select the strip size 16 or less, but when i scan, there are all errors. It shows me the folders but files are corrupt. Any help in that?

I believe these are single sector stripe.

Auto detect is for a RAID with three or more drives. A two drive stripe doesn't need auto-detect because you can tell the order pretty easily. You may want to scan it with ReclaiMe Free RAID recovery software if your not familiar with RAID setups. Then after you have the correct settings you can return to R-Studio. If this doesn't make any sense, then stop and contact a professional before you screw it up.

Hi,
Auto detect feature is for Raid 5 & Raid 6 it is not used for Raid 0

As Pci said most probably is:1 sec stripe
but if any drive is making strange behaivours better contact with a local pro

yes. pci is absolutely right! It worked and showed the partition name.
I tried ReclaiMe, trust me its of no use in this case. I found very FEW softwares allow to rebuild RAID with 1 sec stripe size. and i thought that the auto feature of Rstudio might also detect the stripe size through the algorithms or comparing sectors, but it didn't. Thats where i was stuck but pcimage is right about the stripe size.
Thank you guys!

UFS Explorer would also work smoothly.
Additionally, for 512 bytes stripe you'd get a non-zero probability of a higher data extraction speed.

Your R-studio also CAN do 1 sector stripe size for raid0

UFS Explorer faster than R-Studion in this case.
You can define cashing and get highest speed.

RAID 0 with 1 sec stripe size is very slowly. why wd set it to 1 sector ?
