Sometimes people have no choice.

Not sure what you are on about.

The OP gave quite a good sitrep, made it clear that he was not in
danger of losing critical data, and was given good, clear and above all
harmless advice: Take a copy of the RAID, recover data from the copy.

Had the OP said that this was critical data I would have offered quite
different advice: Turn the thing off and take it to a professional data
recovery service.

Regards, K.
