Yesterday one of the three Raid 5 disks I have configured into my DELL Server PERC H310 controller cannot be found anymore.
I cannot replace the faulty driver now, so the thing I actually would like to do is to turn it into a RAID 0 for the time being.
Is it possible to do this without loss of data? If yes, how?
Thank you so much.
As said in the comments, I think what happened is that previously one of the three drives died. Then a second got foreign to some error (and now my data is not exposed).
The question is: What happens if I import the configuration of the foreign disk? Will it get together with the one that is ready and expose the data for me, so that I can get them back?
Thanks a lot!

So you have a redundant array of disks that started to die. And you want to migrate it to the raid level where the death of a single disk will be fatal for data.
My opinion - it's some sort of complicated suicide.
