I was partially referred here by a reddit post.

I tried taking 2 western digital drives from my desktop PC and install them in a NAS box and it formatted them without my knowledge!
I have the drives in a usb 3.0 docking station now being analysed by TestDisk. If anyone has any recommendations as what to try, I'd be VERY thankful! I will try and post the log file after it's done with the analysis.
From what I've gathered, the disks were originally formatted to FAT32 and the NAS device formatted them to a RAID Array with 5 multiple partitions which Windows reads as RAW...
