Theres a few youtube video over it . esentail you want a $$$ thosudand dollar piece of equipment that can do disk foresics.... Regarding teh recaculate pariity...good question IDK. Its hard to explain and go over recovery opyion when this occurs. again its better to think taht the drive is dead and with it all the data on it.This is why its important to have backups.In thory your better off turning off the machine and pulling the HDD in question with another machine. If you have parity and d1 setup correctly you can recover d1 depending on how your array is setup.review docshttps://docs.unraid.net/legacy/FAQ/Parity/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1orfWpekkqw&pp=0gcJCfwAo7VqN5tDYeah, I’ve heard recovery can be super expensive and not always successful. So if a drive fails, is it still possible to recover with parity, or does it depend entirely on how the array was set up? Anyone here actually tried pulling the drive and rebuilding it successfully?

It is really the whole point of parity.But in this particular thread, the user formatted the disk while in the parity array. So, parity agrees the disk has been formatted and rebuilding will result in that formatted disk.All this has been covered already in this thread.
