Hi,
I have two hard drives: SAMSUNG HD103SJ (Rev. 2010.09) combined as a RAID 0.
Unfortunately, after four years without emergency action one of the disks refused to cooperate. I know perfectly well that RAID 0 is a very bad idea to hold important data - I had to do a backup, but put off this time ...
Returning to the topic - when the computer starts one of the disks (call him A) is detected, you can hear it starts up. While the second disk (name it B) is not detected in the BIOS, you do not hear that spun platters - only seems quiet, solid sounds.
Using the knowledge contained in this forum I was able to determine that most likely there is damaged PCB in hdd B. Therefore, I translated the PCB from drive A to drive B - and it worked. After this operation, the disk B is detected in the BIOS.
As a result, I have two drives that run in RAID0, but I have only one efficient PCB, which can translate between the two disks.
Question - is it posibble to create images of the hdd? - first drive A, and then disk B - and then combine them programmatically in the image of one disk? Or having the images disk drive A and B run them on any virtual machine, to be able to transfer the data from the RAID 0 on a spare disk?
Thank you in advance for your help! And I'm sorry for my English level.
