Figured I would come back and post what happened. Ended up dumping both .img files into UFS Explorer. It built the raid and I was able to recover the data. I'm not sure if anything was lost, but more than 95% of the data was recovered. It was about 250gb of data in total that recovered.

Thanks for everyones help!

So, it was RAID0 then?

I was being facisious when I said that. Seems an obvious logical method of deduction.

Personally I'm all for sharing whatever secrets you're willing to divulge. Most of us are far enough apart we aren't even competing with each other.

I'm still not sure if it was. All I know is that I have a 2x1TB configuration and when I set it up, I only had 1TB of available space, which would lead me to believe it was RAID1. The only thing I can think of is that since it was a Buffalo unit, the attempt to recover the data using non UFS software made the images look striped. That, or Buffalo uses software to display RAID1, yet still functions as a RAID0.

Most likely it was RAID 0. According to my experience, Buffalo users frequently don't know the RAID level they've been using because units are sold with some commercial naming, related to the default level set. But after any change-over new RAID level is unobvious for a normal user.
