The end result was a data recovery lab that cost me 14k to get my data back. &nbsp;OUCH. &nbsp;Thanks for the tips though. &nbsp;Both of your answers assisted me in discovering what needed to get done though, so thank you much!

I have an HP DL100 NAS server that decided to throw a fit. &nbsp;It is setup as RAID5 with 4x500GB SATA drives. &nbsp;I cannot boot into Windows. &nbsp;The Adaptec 2420A Controller says no logical drives found, but it see's all the hard drives ok. &nbsp;I have replaced the controller with 3 new ones. &nbsp;I have replaced the system board, I have replaced the SATA cables. &nbsp;What do I have to do, to get this data back? &nbsp;I thought the whole thing about RAID was redundancy. &nbsp;Any ideas? <br />

Get RAID5 Data Back!!!!!

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
