How to mount MBLD hard drives in RAID0 on a linux machine to extract data?

Greetings!

I've got the yellow light on my WD MBLD 8TB version after a power outage, right now it doesn't start up. I am running RAID0 on it. I am trying to mount the drivers on a linux machine to recover data but there are so many spread out commands on the web and I am not able to find one list that could help.

Here you can find the screenshots from the disks which I could take on UBUNTU https://photos.app.goo.gl/dRZV7N8a5FbMBbkF7

I got a machine and connected both drivers on it using the SATA interface. I am running UBUNTU 18.04 from a USB disk in this machine. I was able to mount something (not sure if that is correct) however the DataVolume seems to be empty (which is not, for sure). Please find the steps I tried below.

 root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# sudo su root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# apt-get install mdadm root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# sudo mdadm --assemble --scan root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# cd /dev root@ubuntu:/dev# ls md* sd* md0 md3 sda1 sda3 sdb sdb2 sdb4 sdc1 sdd1 md2 sda sda2 sda4 sdb1 sdb3 sdc sdd 

At this point I picked md0 - I am really not sure that is the right one neither how to identify the right one

 root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# file -s /dev/md0 /dev/md0: Linux rev 1.0 ext3 filesystem data, UUID=eb81d2c5-8d9f-4e13-a0a8-deb9476729a6 (large files) root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# mount -o ro /dev/md0 /mnt/disk1 root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop# cd /mnt/disk1 root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1# ls bin DataVolume etc lost+found opt sbin srv usr boot debootstrap home media proc selinux sys var CacheVolume dev lib nfs root shares tmp 

Nothing here
 root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1# cd DataVolume/ root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1/DataVolume# ls 

Nothing here
 root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1/DataVolume# cd .. root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1# cd shares/ root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1/shares# ls root@ubuntu:/mnt/disk1/shares# 

Would you guys please help me? Thanks.
