It would be truly terrible if that had happened but to be honest I have some doubts that was what really happened.
It does sound more like you at some point could have installed it in an internal NAS disk bay.
What can I do in this case?
If you live dangerously and don't have backups of your data, a disk recovery software and a lot of work may help you get some of the data on the disk back.
No, RAID has never ever been a replacement for backups. Without backups you will eventually lose data!
