in a RAID10 configuration, which disk pair contains the mirrored files? Wich disk pair are striped?

What is the format/sizes of the stripes (I'm trying to recover my files)?

Is there existing recovery software for RAID10 NS4300 configuration?

Hi Terry,

A RAID 10 is basically a stripe over a mirror. So in a 4-drive RAID 10, there will be 2 mirrors and all the drives are striped.

I would guess that with the NS4300 the stripe size is 64K, but I don't have one to check.

I am not aware of any recovery software.

The best bet for recovery would be to find a used but working NS4300.

Thanks, R P

I have 6 working NS4300N units including the one having the problem disks. My question is to recover the files from the RAID disks, I need to know the mirrored pairs -- 1/2 is mirrored on 3/4 or1/3 is mirrored on 2/4?

I've found several RAID recovery software programs but I need to know a striped pair to process.
