Software RAID data loss

Hi, I’m changed my disk drivers 500GiBx2 to 1TiBx2 that configured as RAID (0+1), The problem is when I connect my two old disks to copy my data opensuse doesn’t detect RAID and only showed the linux partitions and well I add the partitions to RAID array and now I have one RAID partition without file system (The data partition), What can I do?

RAID was/is not a replacement for backups, it is instead intended to
give 24 hour x 365 day up times by allowing hot replacement of
failing/failed drives on a running server; and to increase read/write
speed by ‘striping’ data onto several drives…

so the very simple solution to your problem is to restore from backup…
