It sucks.

i used to run a stripe raid on my computer (raid 0) and 1 disk crashed so all the data was gone..(maxtor disk) i invested in 4 disks and got a raid 10 system. Stupid enough two discs failed right after eachother. Again maxtor discs.

Now i run a WD raptor 10k sata disc, they seem to be more reliable. they come with a 60month warrantee as well.

There are several software providers that make recovery software. As long as the disk is seeking, spinning and the heads aren't crashed, you have got a good change the data is still there.
