Dear all,

im working as research assistant in university and I am tasked to access the data from a Levigo Raid Arena Ex2, that has 6 250gb 3.5 IDE Hard Drives included and works with RAID 5. The problem is that the Raid Controller has only a SCSI connection and therefore it is impossible in the year 2023 to connect it to any computer in our department. This data was just stored for approx. 20 years and it is impossible for me to access it now. My only idea was to buy an IDE to USB Adapter to connect the hard drives to my computer seperatly. But because I had no clue how Raid 5 works that was no use at all.

Could you help me?
