Before the data gets away from you I would do the following - get it onto a
backup USB drive.
Here is what I usually do when a broken RAID device is involved. Use your
favorite disk image / file recovery tool. I've had good results with Iolo's
Search and Recover but there are lots of other good tools too.
Then with your data secured, there is time to play with RAID controller
hardware. Best of luck getting the data secured.
