Two questions about Raid 0:
My situation:
My motherboard with RAID controller got sent in for an RMA (3 weeks turnaround). Asus sent me back a different motherboard that had way worse problems than my previous motherboard. So I have to send it in again to get repaired or replaced. So I am 3 out of 6 weeks through not having access to my Raid 0 2x1TB SSD Boot drive (Windows 10) that was dependent upon that motherboard and RAID controller. I'm getting desperate because my password database is on that raid drive as well as hundreds of GB of Steam games that I can't download again yet (data caps).
I have some computer hardware laying around, such as 'mediasonic HUR2-SU3 Sata-to-USB3 docking station' which I read thoughtlessly that it could recreate a RAID. Obviously it did not do so. It supposedly has something to do with Linux RAIDs, but I don't think it applies to me.
But I was wondering if in the modern world, there is any way to take my two 1 TB SSDs (Sata 3) (raid 0 from hardware controller) and have them both connected to one of my 2 laptops (Asus FX53VE or MacBook Pro E-2011) and somehow scrape coherent folders and data off of them. I don't want it destroyed or deleted, only accessed. With enough time and effort, there must be some way to do it.
FYI: I only have 2 laptops at the moment**, so no RAID cards via PCIe (I do have one). This is because I just sent my motherboard back in to Asus for ANOTHER RMA.
I have a 4 disk QNAP NAS with 4 8TB WD RED NAS disks in it, in ** 0. What is the life expectancy of my data in RAID 0, assuming I check the SMART data and am on the lookout for signs of failure? The HDD is WD80EFZX.
Thanks a lot for reading! I have some more questions about Qubes OS and Linux installs, but I have more research to do before I ask them, and I know there is a different community for that.
Edit: I'm getting some nice new information from a different thread: Mount existing 2-HDD RAID 0 on a new machine that I could not find before.
