But the data loss will be there I suppose.

We don't know that. As long as the foreign drive is healthy and was the LAST ONE TO FAIL, then your data should still be intact.

Yep, true enough, but if you are going to copy/paste others' words, just post a link to it.

Yup, point taken, and I normally do, just missed it on this one.
