I have a Maxtor OneTouch III 600GB external drive. It contains 2 drives and appears to be a RAID 0 with a 64K stripe based on online product info (http://seagate.custkb.com/seagate/crm/selfservice/search.jsp?DocId=189951&NewLang=en). I have not worked on one of these units before nor have I done any work with data recovery on RAID systems. The device is recognized by the OS but does not mount. I don't believe there to be a physical problem at this point.

My thought was to remove the 2 drives, image them, and attempt to rebuild the RAID using R-Studio or RAID Reconstructor.

Does this sound like the right plan of attack? Any feedback or recommendations would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

If you are going to image the drives, then I don't think there should be any problem cuz in any case, you still have the original drives.
