 | |  |  | Most cheap NAS-type devices are built with a cheap RAID controller - so the manufacturers ship the OS with LM raid drivers (software raid). 
 From time to time single-drives die; or the controller may die - but the integrity of the dataset should still exist spanned across the physical disks.
 
 A utility that can detect the LM signature of a disk and put them in order - presenting the running OS with a read-only LM volume / virtual disk.
 
 I don't know much more than that in terms of details - but I know I've needed this at least 3x over the years.
 
 thanks,

 | |  |  | Then using your 'disk copy' utility - we could recover the data onto a fresh volume/nas drive. |

 | |  |  | A raid recover program is a good idea!  i might look into how feasable one is. 
 Cheers
