Last week, my graphics controllers burnt (after 7 years of loyal service), well, my laptop (Clevo x7200) is now out of usage.

On this laptop I have two disks mounted on a RAID 0. Disks are OK and they work very well. I plugged them in an external USB RAID controller (GLOTRENDS 2.5" Dual Bay Enclosure), Windows detected that there are two disks (500Gb * 2 = 1Tb), but not initialized. I would like to retrieve data inside these two disks without breaking anything. Any idea to remount these two disks in order to retrieve data inside ?

Edit from comments:

  • Hardware RAID from the integrated controller on motherboard.
  • Stripe size = 128kb

    What initiated the RAID 0? Software or hardware? If software, which program? If hardware, which controller?

    "I do not know RAID details: Stripe size, disk order..." - This is vital information. Typically you cannot just go moving RAID arrays between different hardware RAIDS controllers.

    The information you provided isn't specific enough.

    What OS is there? Are you able to connect there over network (SSH/VNC/RDP)?

Finally, this was not so "impossible" to retrieve, even without "vital" informations...

As I said, my two disks are clean and 100% works. I re-put them in my USB RAID controller using JBOD configuration (in order to show to Windows two different disks).

First, I ran ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery which retrieve my RAID configuration in a few minutes. Second, I used a recovery software which support RAID 0 configuration. It mounted a virtual NTFS partition of my two RAID 0 disks which can be fully explorable. So I retrieved all my user data.
