I would love a night-shift version of my job... I do my best thinking and have solved many of my work problems at night at home, while playing on my own computers, lol.
I always loved the night shift to.

and catch up here and everywhere else.I'm going to be in REALLY rough shape trying to catch up after this week! I'm exhausted and really far behind already!

Going to a BBQ dinner in 25 minutes. BBQ in NY!!

Good evening
-
Packing up to install two replacement computers. Two HDDs failed on Friday.
-
Trying to recover any data off of a failed RAID 1 (2-Drive laCie) . . . fun . . .
-
@DustinB3403 Did the whole RAID 1 fail, or just one of the drives?
-
Well we got a replacement drive, as Drive 2 was marked as bad, and let it "run a resilver" for a very long time. 2 days... at which point the system went into a full failed state.
So much fun.

Good to see that you are amused for the day

10:00 PM but I'm bit sleepy Lols

Yeah. . .
Neither the "good" drive nor the one originally marked as bad will mount. So much for being SAFE.
Boss wants to give it a try when he gets back.

If you're willing, remove a drive from the case and mount it directly into a computer - the USB controller might be what is dead, not the drive.
You can also try running Spinrite on it once you connect it to computer.
-
Mounting it now into a tower, and booting into Linux to see if it can even see the drive.
-
We have partial lift off!
Drive is seen in Ubuntu, Disk is ok with 1 bad sector.
Mounting . . .Now for the massive explosion

Explosion?
I assume you are copying the data to another drive?
If you run into any areas that can't be read, and I know I sound like a broken record, but try spinrite.
-
It's still attempting to mount the drive, so we'll see once we get there.

You boot from the spinrite disk, it loads a version of FreeDos to run from. you don't run it inside of Linux.

I started using OWA full time... I'm amazed at how much faster it is then the Outlook desktop application.

Ouch, at least recovery tools tend to work on RAID 1 pretty well since all the data is in two places.
