I got everything back from a 4.5 TB array... I cannot recommend it enough. I tried everything up until that, testdisk, forcing the array to mount in a Linux system, etc etc. Several days of work. Then I just attached three of the disks to USB adapters (the fourth disk was simulated by the software), input stripe parameters and off we went... in Windows, too. It read EXT right off the broken disks. I have never seen anything like it. A third disk developed problems during the recovery procedure but everything was saved...
