Hello, attempting to recover the data from a Raid-5 (5x2TB) NAS Lacie Big 5
Using UFS Explorer, when let automatically detect it will find NTFS partitions but according to research such as
viewtopic.php?t=18637&start=

Quote:
Most importantly, it appears that the numbered 1-5 bays on the Lacie 5big actually did not house the drives in their 'correct' order. The raid drive 1 was the Lacie drive 5, raid drive 2 was Lacie disk 4, 3 was 1, 4 was 3 and 5 was 2. This one surprised me, but it appears that in the order listed above, the assembled raid is providing viable recovered files.

Block size was 128 sectors

Parity was left symmetric

The raid start was sector 2008125

And the file system was xfs


So these parameters unfortunately don't work with this hard drive order mentioned. And when I look at sector 0x2008125 on the first drive in raid there is no partition table information. If you think you have what it takes to see this recovery thru either view phone or remote log in feel free to contact me with rates

What is the original problem with the unit?
Did you get a full sector-by-sector clone of each drive?
Which drives have read errors?
How important is your data?
Can you afford to lose it all by DIY?

The original problem was suspected the NAS enclosure, upon disassembling the second drive SATA power connector was melted.
The drives have already been cloned to healthy drives, no read errors on any of the drives.
No risk of data loss at this point considering the drives have been cloned.
The majority of the data is backed up, but a portion of it wasn't.

Was hoping someone had some insight into the Lacie Big5 NAS, especially since the consensus seems to be that the filesystem is XFS but the partition table headers seem to suggest it running NTFS.

Unless there's something irreversible has been done before you got the unit, we should be able to help with this LaCie remotely.
Please check your PM.

It should be a relatively easy remote recovery and sounds like windows may have altered the MBR.
