Software reads of a AAA-UDMA raid array
I have...had an Adaptec AAA-UDMA radi5 ide adaptor.
I had HDx dying in the past, dying along with all data it contained... So, eventually I bought an affordable raid 5 card. I though I could put important data on a 3 20gig HD raid 5 array since any one drive could die It would still be possible to read data. But now the actual raid adaptor died on me. I am pretty sure I could recuperate my data if I could find another such adaptor, but I don`t want to...It turned out NOT to to be a good purchase. Still is it possible, maybe in Linux, to individually mount the 3 drives and access the raid5 array ? I mean without the hardware... I understand it might be slower....(maybe not, the AAA-UDMA was pretty slow anyway) Thanx in advance to anyone who answers this one, Nicolas. |

(Quite the piece of garbage when compared to even something as lowly as a Promise SX6000.) Maybe pick one up on ebay? |
