I had ASUS P5K3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP which was working for 4 years. Yesturday it burned out... literaly with smoke and fire... So I plan on getting DFI LanParty LT X48-T3RS (Intel X48, DDR3) as a replacement. I had RAID of 5 satas. I do not remember what type of RAID it was but I know for sure that the drives were not mirrored. I have no regrets of loosing it but still I wonder what are my chances of saving the data? Meaning if I take the drives and plug them into a new RAID will I still have access to the data? I do remember the order that the drives were connected to the previous motherboard.
"literally with smoke and fire" makes me fell kinda scared... before replacing with a new motherboard find out what happened to the previous... or quite playing with fire around it. :P – James Mertz – 2010-10-08T20:33:53.853
Perhaps it was RAID-6? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID_6#RAID_6 It seems to be the only one with 5 discs.
– FrustratedWithFormsDesigner – 2010-10-08T20:50:39.093@FrustratedWithFormsDesigner you can have more than the drives that are shown in the wiki for RAID's... For example a RAID-0 can have 3, 4, 5 or more drives. Most common raid is RAID-5 which is a RAID-6 only there is only 1 parity. That would be the best assumption. – James Mertz – 2010-10-08T23:55:53.947
