How much data is retreivable form one disk in a raid 5 array (gregtech.eu)

If i would, hypothetically, have a few different drives in a raid5 array in different physical locations, and one was seized, how much data could be reconstructed from that drive?

(I was reading about A/I and their R* system a bit, and this semi-related idea came to mind)

But how hard is it to reconstruct an image without the file headers? I get that text files are toast if they aren't encrypted, but wouldn't any other filetype that is not human-readable be very hard to retreive?

What are you trying to achieve anyway? I feel I can't give good advice because there's so much specifics to factor in. Also I don't even know if I'd like to help you, depending on what kinds of illegal stuff you're up to in this "hypothetical" situation!
