I'd run the quick Seatools test first (it normally only takes 1-2 minutes).  Both drives should be mirrored, so if one passes, you should be able to recover from it.

 

Note you will need storage to copy the files onto (for instance a USB drive).  R-linux doesn't repair anything, it just gives you access to the files.

    Stephen,

    Thanks; I am ordering internal and external Seagate 8TB drives now, so hopefully can recover from one of the disks via my pc.

    Regards
