I know how RAID work and prevent data lost from disks failures. I want to know is possible way/how easy to recover data from unfunctioned remaining RAID disks due to RAID controller failure or whole system failure. Can I even simply attach one of the RAID 1 disk to the desktop system and read as simple as USB disk? I know getting data from the other RAID types won’t be that simple but is there a way without building the whole RAID system again. Thanks.

    You must have shingled/SMR drives. They do not work well with any type of raid array.

    My array of 7x12TB drives resilvers in a few hours, as I made sure I got CMR drives
