Recover RAID data?

Mr. Goodie2Shoes · June 11, 2020

Is there any way to recover my RAID volume that I created from my motherboard's built-in RAID controller?

I was using MSI X99S Gaming 7 which burned a few weeks back. Now I need a couple of important files that were in there and forgot to keep a backup of them.

I found this on the internet: http://www.freeraidrecovery.com/ but am kinda skeptical to use.

Any suggestion on how I can recover my RAID 5 volume?

I believe it comes off the Intel chipset, so its Intel RST....a word we despise around here

So your new motherboard doesnt have Intel RST (Intel RAID)? Or are you trying to migrate to a different system?

Intel has a recovery procedure if you have a failed drive: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/documents/motherboards/server/RAID_vol_recover_proc.pdf

But it seems your RAID controller is the issue so the virtual drive is intact, you could just mount it on another compatible Intel based motherboard and import it.
