 This STORA appears to use a software RAID configuration and the data is formatted using the Linux XFS file system. This STORA appears to use a software RAID configuration and the data is formatted using the Linux XFS file system.
  
-The basic idea is to have a desktop PC running linux, such as 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) or [[https://www.centos.org/|CentOS6]] which supports the XFS file system.  Power it off, and attach the STORA hard disk as a secondary drive (it uses a SATA connection).  Linux should recognize the hard drive and using the steps below will mount the drive.  Then the data can be copied off the drive, or rsync'd to a remote machine.  +The basic idea is to have a desktop PC running linux, such as 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL6) or [[https://www.centos.org/|CentOS6]] which supports the XFS file system.  Power it off, and attach the STORA hard disk as a secondary drive (it uses a SATA connection).  Linux should recognize the hard drive (probably as /dev/sdb1) and using the steps below you can mount the drive.  Then the data can be copied off the drive, or rsync'd to a remote machine.
