I'm trying to recover data from a colleague's 4TB external G-RAID drive. I've saved the main partition from the quick scan result, but that didn't help, so i spent the past week doing a Deeper Search. It appears to have failed at 78% though (same percentage as three days ago) and the shell is not printing newlines or my input anymore. I've rebooted Ubuntu 14.04.2 and copied testdisk.log, which doesn't appear to be complete:

It's probably using hardware RAID 0 - Oxford 936 chipset. Can TestDisk help me recover the data, or should i skip to PhotoRec?
