Suddenly a striped drive that had been working for two years disappeared. I checked all physical connectors and are ok.

Once I entered Disk Management and tried to Import Foreign Disks I noticed that it had separated the drives in two groups of one instead of having one group of two drives.

Is there a way to fix this??import foreign

    Hi ciro cid,

    Hope you're doing well.

    1. Have you tried to online the disk? If this works, your striped volume shoud be restored.
    2. If online disk doesn't work. Try to delete the existing striped volume in Disk Management. Create a new, larger striped volume using the available disks. Restore your data to the new striped volume.
    3. Since Windows cannot recover striped volumes directly, consider using third-party tools.

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
