Has anyone done a recovery from a Kingston SMSR150S3/256G mSATA RAID 0?

[MrAnderson]

Hi Guys,

I'm having trouble with a RAID 0 array from a Kingston SMSR150S3/256G mSATA solid state hard drive from an acer laptop.  The laptop identifies 2 128gb drives in a failed RAID 0 configuration.  If I remove the drive and place it in a sata adapter I can image the drive completely but having trouble with the recovery.  Seems like it only shows up as 128gb with rstudio.  Using UFS explorer I can see the correct partition but only corrupted data can be recovered.

Does anyone have any experience in this situation?

Thanks,
Don

Hi Don

 

The laptop should have two drives, each 128GB. If you only imaged the one, then you will only have corrupt data. You need to make images of both drives and see if you can rebuild the array.

Thanks for the reply Tim.  That is what I figured too, but after opening the laptop up it only has one 256gb mini sata SSD in it.  It was configured as 2 - 128gb drives striped, but appears the client as screwed with the RAID configuration and mirrored it after he couldn't boot any longer.  Now it seems I have 2 mirrors of only half the stripe.  Oh well... it seems cases like these are showing up on my doorstep way too often.  Bummer.

I didn’t know you could actually set up a RAID on a single drive, even by mistake?

I didn't either. Must be the design of that SSD and the RAID configuration utility on that new Acer slim laptop.

I dialed in and looked at it....

It looks like the raid was setup using with ms dynamic disk.

It appears that the 256 was split into 2 partitions and striped - that doesnt make much sense - especially since its ssd.

and then later the first partition was mirrored to the second partition - so now he has half of a raid10.... the wrong halves....

raid 0 - raid 1 - they are the same... right close enough right? lets just try this.... maybe it will magically fixit!
