From everything I'm reading, data from a failed drive in a RAID0 configuration can't really be recovered due to the nature of the beast. The reason is, parts of a file is written to one drive, while the rest of the file is written to the other drive. So, any data recovered from the failed drive would be incomplete, needing the rest of it from the other drive.

If that store tells you they can recover your data, they would be wrong.RAID0
Striped Disk Array with no Fault Tolerance - Provides data striping - spreading out blocks of each file across multiple disks, but no redundancy. This improves performance but puts all data at risk in the event of a disk failure. The drawback to this method is if one drive fails, then all data in the array - both disks are lost. The only benefit to this method is it speeds write times to the drive which makes your system quicker and it keeps the full size of the disks.
If a drive no longer shows in BIOS, it would take a professional data recovery service to "try" and recover anything. But you'd still only have parts of everything - in other words, it would be useless.
I am truly sorry.
