Search the devices for ext2/3/4 superblocks, like so:
dd if=/dev/sdX bs=1M 2>/dev/null |hexdump -C |grep '30 .\+ 53 ef 0'
This will take a very long time, and will generate false positives.
You probably would want to use screen or tmux to run these in
parallel in separate processes.
But superblock locations will give you hints as to the rest of data,
and make it possible to create partitions that will let you copy
stuff off into a new array.
