RAID is a great technology and in many cases is suppose to keep our data safe. What happens when it fails? RAID Arrays are one of the most painful things to reassemble. RAID 0 and RAID 5 software reassemblies have problems with Slice Sizes, and Drive Orders and in many cases, the user has no idea what the settings are. What do you do when you don't know the Slice Size and Drive Orders and you need the data from damaged drives? Well here is a demonstration of a way to determine this using Sight and Sound. I crammed as much on the subject as I can into a 50 minute presentation with Demos.
