I did. The OP should get a hardware without errors (its the best time to
upgrade the hardware to a new one, but any old one is also ok) and do a
correct data recovery from his old disks to a new raid system. He has
200 users behind his server. Nobody could do any work until the OP is
testing some BIOS settings or system configs without sleep mode,
recovering the file system and so on. Because of his question, the OP is
not very confident dealing with hard- and software, a new setup is the
best way with the fewest possible errors.

Never use a single drive for important data. Dont tell this idea to
