  Reviving external RAID in the internal drive bays possible?

  Posted by Matt Lyon on January 16, 2011 at 4:46 am

  Hey all,

  I have a “house brand” external FW800 RAID from a local shop that recently stopped working. The enclosure consists of two 500 gig Seagate 3.5″ 7200 RPM platters.

  I suspected they still worked, and that it was the power supply/controller that failed, so I tried putting the drives in my Intel Box’s internal drive bays.

  Lo and behold, they are spinning up and Disk Utility can see them, but they are being reported as “uninitialized.”

  Does anyone know if it is possible to rebuild the RAID volume and save the data (I have no reason to suspect it is corrupted). From what I can tell, the enclosure used a hardware RAID 0 controller. So I’m wondering if my only solution is to buy exactly the same controller and cross my fingers.

  Thanks,

  Matt Lyon

  Very sorry all, I should have posted this in the RAID forum!

  I’m moving the thread here:
