What's an interface?Post a picture of the interface if you get a chance.
We want to see the type of connector ports on those drives so that we can identify their type.What's an interface?
It'll be a while before I can make any pics. Watch this space.
I appreciate your help.
This is very helpful. I recollect that the drives are Seagate Barracudas, each being 160 GB. Bear in mind I'm pulling up a 20+ yo memory. Thank you!
I have but the faintest idea about what you're asking. I just asked for two drives when the machine was built and didn't request anything else.probably sata. 7200.10
were they setup in a raid? options raid 0 for striping or raid 1 for mirroring or 0+1 striped mirror.
Was there separate files on both drives (2 drive letters/names)Thanks for jumping in. Would having a raid setup, of whatever type, effect data recovery?

That is correct, separate drive letters.Was there separate files on both drives (2 drive letters/names)
if so.. there was likely no raid.
Raid 1 would be mirroring.. so both drives would have same contents (would aid in recovery)
raid 0 is striping for performance and you would need both drives to recover anything.
Disclaimer: explanation is simplified.
