What Are You Doing Right Now

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.

Trying to recover any data off of a failed RAID 1 (2-Drive laCie) . . . fun . . .
Ouch, at least recovery tools tend to work on RAID 1 pretty well since all the data is in two places.

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.
Sounds likely that the Lacie itself, not the array, failed. Often the system failing will take the array with it, of course.

An array is only ever as safe as the device that it is in
The drives will not "mount" elsewhere, you will need to use tools on them as they have a RAID system on them that another device is not going to be able to read natively.

It really is. SO much better most of the time. I've been on OWA for about two years now.

Here we are, representing GMT +8
I'm going to sleep soon. Gotta cover ML when everyone else is asleep
@scottalanmiller .. hahha you should agree
That is brilliant Idea
before two of us covering the ML when everyone else is asleeplol, night shift admin minus the admin bit... so I guess I take title of pleb then
haha you should agree with this.
-
@scottalanmiller That is my assumption as well at this point.
But odds are we arent spending another $600 for a laCie case just to try and recover the files on this drive.

Just booked Friday off for mental health - I am going fishing w/ my dad and some kind old farts from the gun club.
Saturday night I packed my car full of my fishing gear, ready for Sunday. Woke up on Sunday to find my car broken into and all my gear gone. Very sad as most of this stuff was inherited from my Dad & we both were very upset. He mentioned all this to the guys at the fish & game club and all those jerks got together and gave me all their old gear.
I can't even process this right now.
