Looking to sell a PC with dual 1TB WD Blacks in RAID0.

There has been and is still some valuable information on it. If I delete the RAID0 group using the RAID menu on start up and create another one will the old data be recoverable?

In other words I want to know is there any way to make sure the data can't be recovered other that zeroing out the whole drive or destroying them? I've heard that broken RAID0 volumes are recoverable because of the data spread on both drives.

Thanks for any advice!
 
Still very much recoverable if the guy buying it is smart enough to think that it was setup with a RAID0, but still not an easy feat to do.

My last job asked me to have a RAID0 recovered, and it was expensive to be done by third party, and it was mostly recovered.
 
Yes there are software tools that will scrape the data from the drives, then try and using different raid formats to repair the data. I have successfully restored data from a 2 drives that were previously in R0.
 
Hate to do this but I got so little help today's the last day I will attempt to fix solve etc the problem

Need help with raid 0 to new system

As an update I made a win10 USB bootable and tried using that to repair fix to no available but for whatever reason I was able to get into safe mood and with networking but could only install the nic drivers and gave up since drivers don't seem to be the issue booting into Windows is and all the boot files are the problem since half the them keep disappearing even after so called renaming or backing up and following most of those guides I posted above! Thanks
