I have a raid 1+0 failure and stripe data is gone. I don’t even know where to start to reconstruct. I am running an Asus m2n32-sli Motherboard with 4 drives. TIA

Relax. You should have 100% redundancy. SalvageData has a RAID recovery tool that has had good reports.

More details would be welcome. What does the RAID BIOS say ? Does RAID BIOS detect the array and its members? Have you tried to rebuild the array in RAID BIOS?
