I hope my post is appropriate. I am novice in this work and y hope your help.

I had an array of four 500GB HD Driver in RAID10 and we do not know why, but the raid10 was broken.

The RAID controler is OK (they sais us the RAID is damaged), the four hard disk works, but the RAID10 is broken.

I know software to recover RAID5 (works well), but I have been looking for RAID10 recovery software and i can not find.

I thought to try to recovery with RAID0 recovery software but i do know how make this.

Can you help me? Any idea?, do you know for RAID10 recovery software?

Thanks.

Hello,

The RAID0 recovery is maybe good enough for you.
But first you need to find the general problem wich corrupted the array!
Did you check the smarts?

I suggest, to take a look to the sata cable's connectors....

What type of raid10 used the card?
Do you know the strip size?

thank for your post.

The RAID card is an Adaptec AAR-2410SA, and i Think thak the strip size is 64K

but i have a trouble.

how i try to recover (with RAID0 Recovery soft) using the same RAID controler (the RAID controler says me that i have a volume with all four HDs), or witout the RAID controler.

The RAID 10 consists of a RAID0, which is mirrored to another RAID0. You need to use Winhex to determine which of the disks are mirrored, and then using just 2 of the four disks (Need to use two disks which have different Hex values in Winhex), you can attempt RAID 0 recovery.
