Hi I want to see if I can access data on a Maxtor Onetouch III 1.5TB external usb/firewire drive. It worked for about 5/6 years then it wouldn't show in Windows and later I realised it was making the same ticking noise over and over again. I've taken both disks out (2 x 750gb Seagates) and I want to connect them directly to my Z97 motherboard via the SATA III ports. I've seen on Linus tech tips that to setup a RAID 0 you need to enter bios but this was about creating an array which would involve deleting any data that was on both drives however I want to try and access the drive as it was when it was still in the original enclosure while working. I don't want to try it yet without getting advice first. I know RAID 0 is bad for reliability but I got this external drive not long after I started using computers and didn't know what I know now!
Thanks in advance.
