    Pulling data off drives that are currently set in a basic array.


    So i am currently running Windows 10. I have 6 x 4tb drives in a basic array as one large drive. I am going to replace these drives with 6tb drives in a NAS. What i need to know before i pull the drives is, can i connect the drives via USB and pull the data of one drive at a time? I suspect i can with no issues but before i do this i just wanted to make sure. Thanks for your time!

    :)

    [Resolved] Raid Array Swapping

    I contacted Sans Digital, and they said it is automatic: powerdown the array, pull one set
    of drives, put in another, and it rebuilds the array from the data on the drives. Perfect for me!

    Can I mark my question as resolved?

    Convert RAID 0 array to regular drives?

    Thank you for your reply, Megahertz. I'm sorry, I didn't explain that this isn't a start up drive. My start up drive is an internal SSD, and the drives that are RAID 0 are internal HDDs that I use to work on. I have already backed up the data, so I'm not concerned about the data.
    I downloaded WD Data LifeGuard Diagnostics, and it shows the array as "Intel Raid 0 Volume (SCSI Int)" and SMART Status as Not Available, even though it currently appears to functioning normally. It doesn't show the two drives or any data about them, but I know they're WD drives. The Logical Drive list, the RAID array is listed by it's drive letter, correctly showing total space and free space.
    I think that brings me up to the part of your instructions about resetting the drive in BIOS, after which, I think I'll be able to just reformat them or use them? I don't know from looking at them which drive is the bad one, but at that point, I could use process of elimination by disconnecting one or the other. Is my thinking correct?

    Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown Pulling data off drives that are currently set in a basic array. :(
    I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
    I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

    Give these troubleshooting steps a try and keep us posted with the results!
