Migrate RAID 0+1 to RAID 10

[Sleerts]

I setup RAID 0+1 via my ASRock 990FX SB950 motherboard as it didn't have a RAID 10 option. Then my motherboard blew and I've decided to be done with this motherboard and purchased a new one that supports RAID 10. I've sent the ASRock out for RMA but last time it took almost a month, then there's setting it up just to pull data off the RAID.

In short...I'm looking for a way to pull data off my RAID 0+1 without having to put together a new or my rma'd motherboard/cpu/memory/etc. Maybe a RAID controller card, etc. that's compatible(My understanding is that the chipset has to match)?

If you don't have any those data backup, wait for the MB back to set up the PC, then you can pull of those data. Or send the drives out for data recovery.

Yea depends on how it was setup. Or you can use a program like RStudio, attach the harddrives to any PC with the software, select the drives, and it will rebuild the RAID and you can access your info. there are a few other programs out there was well but RStudio is the best.

That or wait for the MB to come back, turn on RAID, plug i the drives, hope it picks them up, then backup your data, break the RAID, make a new RAID 10

Hooked up the new motherboard(ASUS Sabertooth 990FX) and attached the drives. Tried IDE/AHCI/RAID settings on the motherboard but it doesn't see the drives. I attached one of the drives via SATA>USB and used Western Digitals tool to write zeros and it errors out, incorrect function. I tried DISKPART and it sees the drive so I tried "clean" and "clean all" and the clean says it works but the clean all says write only media. In Windows Admin Tool Storage Manager I see the disk but it won't initialize.

At this point I just want to break the RAID array, wipe the drives and then create the RAID 10, don't care about any of the data on the previous RAID 0+1.

Any suggestions?

As it turns out, all hard drives were toasted.

Ouch!!! Hope there wasn't anything important on there!

Make sure you get RAID hard drives like WD Reds.

also none of them are being detected at all? do they spin up?
