Old Avid Drives – rS36/160 MediaDrive LVD – Insight?

[David Michael]

Now we are really getting to the problem here.

That is I believe why these drives were handed off to me – the original system is long gone. They couldn’t even tell me if they were RAIDed originally or how they were originally wired.

Let’s assume I was able to get my hands on a ATTA Bios card, would they just magically work after I plugged them into that?

That I don’t know. I would imagine it’s possible to get the ATTO to rebuild the array, but whether or not the data would remain intact, or if it would be able to rebuild is a good question.

sounds like you don’t have much to lose. You can’t access the drives without the old system. If the drives lose data during rebuild on a new system. Both of those scenarios have the same end result. Lost data.

If the rebuild succeeds you are a miracle worker.
