I have had a RAID volume for a couple of years on my desktop. Recently I dusted out my computer and disconnected the hard drives from the motherboard (ASRock Z77 Extreme4). Of course I forgot the order of the hard drives. After the BIOS boot I get the notification It has failed to create the RAID volume.
Since it was a long time ago I also don't remember what raid configuration it was, but I remember half the HD volume was the backup volume.

I already tried to recover the data with RAID Reconstruct (Runtime). But after analyze I get the error: The result is not significant. Currently I'm running the RAID probe, but this takes a long time.

I also tried UFS Explorer Professional Recovery and just try some combinations but didn't succeed.

My question: Is there a way to find out what raid settings I had and the drive order?

These are my 4 drives:

The drives will either be in Raid-0, Raid-1, Raid-5 or Raid-10.

Can you tell us what size the disks are and what size the array was when created, we should be able tell what mode the raid was in.

After that, just a caes of swapping disks in and out until raid goes online.
