My RAID 5 on Buffalo TS5400D NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order. What should I do with all the data that’s still on the disks? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there) There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the computer. I can’t try...

Query: Has anyone tried to run two of these cards in the same machine? Apple Power Mac G5 PCI-X under OS X 10.4.11. I don't necessarily need a RAID set to bridge the two cards, I just want more ports for additional RAIDs. Is it possible? HighPoint says there is support for this on Windows and...
