RAID 3 Data Recovery

Generally you should be able to recover such RAID 3 with UFS Explorer Pro.
If not, I'll be happy to assist remotely.

You are always my first call if I need help with a RAID. I have just written to UFS to see if it is possible as I only have UFS Standard with RAID add-on. Thanks for the advice and might be talking to you soon.

It's also possible to create a RAID3 structure in R-Studio.

The client has 4 of these NAS boxes and set them all up the same. There is a counter on the back of the box that lets you select the RAID type rather than through software (older NAS box). This show as a RAID 3 set up (not with Spare). I can also tell that its byte level striping, so according to LaCie its a RAID 3.

Then, RAID 3 it is...it should be pretty easy to handle with R-Studio, I would think.

Can't get a good read in R-Studio or UFS Pro (which has RAID 3, byte level stripe as a default). Some significant corruption when the client tried rebuilding the RAID I think...... I will let you know how I get on.
