Hi
I have a SNAP SERVER 2200 (an old external NAS device) which has broken. I have taken the 2 160GB HDD's out of it and they seem fine, but I'm struggling to access the files on there.

It seems to use some sort of Linux RAID and though I've tried pretty much every piece of recovery software out there, none have gotten me access to anything useful. I have had some success recovering MS Office files on there and JPG's, but even these are sparse compared to the sheer amount I know should be there.

Now, forgive my total Linux newbie-ness, but should it be possible to build a small PC, load Linux on there, and then add these disks - if so, how then do I get Linux to read across the RAID setup?

There are catalogues on there in Photoshop format which are very important, so any help/suggestions would be great thanks.
