I'd like to make a suggestion going forward, though it won't help you
recover what has already been lost. I do hope you're able to get your
work back.
Implement something local like FreeNAS, which uses ZFS and software
RAID. You'll need some hardware and a few drives. For example, I
have a 1U

That stirred a memory. I have only ever owned one desktop computer in my life.
Always had portable machines after that. Don't know why, probably part of the
job (being mobile). The wife gets hand-me-downs so we're

I'm not sure spinrite is suitable for this occurence. My home system is Linux

The two that died in the machine probably have scrambled information in
the boot sector, it's really bad luck when that happens, if they respond
to the OS at all there are utilities that can analyze the drive and
