hey all!
 
well i had a raid 0 set up in a dell poweredge server - upon a reboot it seems the systems raid system will not work - called dell and they suspect the bgackplane card or the mobo is going - how ever the system will boot fine in "scsi" mode, just not RAID.
 
the 2 hard drives 2 x 76g scsi drives were the drives used - both drives are fine - it was the controller that has died.
 
How can i recover data from these drives? If i can at all...
 
 
because the drives did not die - can i simply plug in each drive into a scsi controller and try to copy off data?
 
 
 
Any help is appreciated!

RAID 0 or Striping will require both drives connected to properly get all the data back as basically half the data gets placed on one drive while the other half gets placed on the second drive.
 
Does this Dell Poweredge server use an Adaptec RAID or Zero Channel RAID card ?!?
 
If so then you should be able to use another machine that has a similar config and just connect up these drives and the array should work just fine. In fact you can actually share multiple arrays on one controller
