  1. Raid 1 Failed & Cannot Get my Files back


    I hope it’s not too late for me now!!!

    My PC is Operating on Windows 10, and I have used WD My Book Duo S/N WUA270…. P/N WDBLWE… 8TB configured asRaid 1, No Encryption for many months, stored about 3TB of data

    Suddenly, the enclosure went faulty, the WD HDD not showing on the Windows Explorer and therefore cannot read my stored data.

    Furthermore, the WD HDD will only appear to be as Unallocated on Disk Management screen asking to format before using …

    Trying to retrieve my data I used Recoverit application on one of the raid 1 set HDD, it only recovered some data not relevant to what I was looking for such as .swf, .aac, .eps, .mts, .m2ts file extensions, unreadable after recovery anywhere, and I cannot see any of my data although the HDD shows it contains more than 3TB of material onDiskpart application.

    I have the second HDD from Raid set untouched, which I believe both HDD were working just fine when the WD My book duo PCB Controller went faulty …

    Anyone can help to retrieve my data, knowing that repairing faulty PCB or swap replacement will not necessary allow to read the Raid 1 and therefore the HDD again, as PCB contains the firmware & encryption etc. and it’s not possible to mimic that. Plus all of this has to go through matching mechanism and removal procedures …

    Anyone can Help, Please.

    Is it possible to easily setup Raid-1 on this system ?

    Get the six core CPU's I listed, at 3.3Ghz per core they will more than handle any calculations you throw at them for years to come, and with matching RAM in tri channel you will have a very strong setup.


    My only other suggestion is a full RAID card like the one I listed with SSD's (in RAID 1)for the OS and programs, and then a RAID 5 array for backup and any large files on the board with a offsite final backup

    Thank you so much.

    Dell system I am buying as a back has Xeon E5645 2.2 GHz & 12 GB ECC RAM

    They don't offer Xeon W3680 that you suggested

    So would that be good enough ?

    Thanks

  4. Raid 1 Failed & Cannot Get my Files back

    Fresh Win 10 Pro install and RAID 1

    Thanks guys. I set up RAID in the BIOS following MSI settings in their manual. Then I loaded windows following the prompts. But I must have missed a step. And hence my questions after my install. So, I did as you suggested Samuria, and set it up in Windows. I would have preferred a MoBo hardware setup. But as long as I have RAID 1 I will be happy. Thanks, B.
