May 28, 201214 yr I have a parity drive that won't spin and two data drives (of four) that don't show up in BIOS. As far as I can tell from reading, that's the end of my array. In an attempt to figure out how the hell I lost three drives in the space of a week, I got an external cage and thought to test them on my Windows 7 box... thinking (hoping) maybe the motherboard went wonky, not the drives. While I wait for that cage to show up, is there anything else I can do to resurrect the array? And after the cage shows up, if I do have three failed drives, is there any way to pull info off drives that are still good while hooked up as an external drive?

It sounds like you have a power problem to the drives. Eliminate the drive cage, use direct connections to the disks. If the disks spin, you can get to all the data. Joe L.
