Was there RAID1 exactly? Or was it RAID0?
</div>


<div>
It if was RAID1, then why the failure. The system should have continued to function on the good drive. 
</div>


<div>
Connect it to any system (Windows or Linux) and then boot this machine from Parted Magic disk: <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/" rel="ugc">http://sourceforge.net/projects/partedmagic/</a><br />
There find data transfer tool and transfer your data to another drive.
</div>


<div>
Apparently there were system files on the First drive that corrupted the unit and that is the reason why we are unable to browse the data via the Tera Station. 
</div>


<div>
Let's look which type of RAID is was. Tell me the size of each drive and the whole size of Terastation.
</div>


<div>
The whole size was about 950gb and each drive was a 1TB drive. <br />

</div>


<div>
Ok, then RAID1. Go on with Parted Magic.
</div>


<div>
Guys, Parted Magic was unable to mount the drive. 
</div>


<div>
Looks like the problem is in drive. Did you test the drive itself? Is it WD or Seagate? On their web site you can find HDD test tools that work from boot CD. Try to use them.

I have successfully used File Scavenger on several occasions to recover defunked volumes. You could try it. <br />

<div>
Yeah none of those worked out for me. :/
</div>


<div>
Did you test the drive?<br />
Also, let this guy (Stephen Haran) connect the machine where you have this drive connected and try his excellent recovery skills. It is absolutely free.

You still did not answer if the drive was tested.

Hello, <br />
<br />
I was wondering if anyone has ever had any success in attempting to recover data from a failed Buffalo TeraStation. We had a 2 Drive TeraStation in a RAID-1 that failed recently and were unable to recover the data from the TeraStation itself. Buffalo support said we should have the ability to connect the drive to a Linux system and view and recover the data that way. Has anyone ever accomplished this? I am trying to connect the drive to the latest version of Ubuntu, but have been unsuccessful. Any help is appreciated.

Failed Buffalo TeraStation

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

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.
