+1, you got SUPER lucky, buddy. It may have something to do with a 6 disk raid config.... Your RAID 0 overkill may have saved that ass!

Truth be told, all of your files were corrupt, but since they were all broken up into 6 parts, you were able to recover most of them by Vista's nature. Basically the files with the more important blocks in tact were brought back to life in the same way defragging can put files back together. You can thank drive indexing and other little background features for that.

Looks like I'm going to fill my ports completely from now on for raid 0...... 10 disk array FTW!
