no harm in trying, as long as lacie used a standard raid method then you should be ok for raid 0 at least. it'd be a completely different story for raid 5.<br />

Once a RAID 0 set has been created, is the RAID set &quot;married&quot; to the particular controller used to create the set?<br />
<br />
Here are the specific details of the problem.<br />
<br />
I have 2 Lacie BigDisk 500GB Firewire800 external drives (PN#300871). &nbsp;Both contain 2 250GB drives in a RAID 0 array. &nbsp;Both contain about 500GB of data (video). &nbsp;Both of the devices have failed within a week of each other and it seems to be a power or controller problem. &nbsp;I have had similar problems with a non-RAID Lacie USB drive and I just removed the drive and put it in the computer, where it continues to work fine. &nbsp;Is there a similar option in this particular case? &nbsp;If I hook up each pair of drives in a computer with a functioning RAID controller, will I be able to access the drives and copy the data to our NAS?

Once a RAID 0 set has been created, is the RAID set "married" to the particular controller used to create the set?

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
