HDD Recovery: RAID Data Recovery

When you need to store massive amounts of data, RAID (Redundant Array Of Independent Disks) systems are typically used, since they store data on multiple hard drives. While some RAID systems use mirroring and striping to decrease the risk of data loss, disaster can still occur. When a RAID system crashes, RAID data recovery can be complex. Fortunately HDD Recovery has the expertise to help you recover your data when a RAID system crashes. We have 10 years of experience and we can help get your data back.

Types Of RAID Systems HDD Recovery Can Recover

RAID 0 Systems

RAID 0 strips the data onto multiple drives, so they provide increased read / write performance. Since the data is not mirrored, if a single drive crashes, you are going to lose data. No worries, HDD Recovery can get it back. We offer a 100% guarantee, so relax and let HDD Recovery get your data back.

RAID 1 Systems

RAID 1 mirrors the data to a identical drive. This means your data is written onto two drives, so in theory if the primary disk crashes you still have a backup. This doesn't mean your data is safe. HDD recovery has 10 years of experience and can get your data back when disaster strikes.

RAID 3 Systems

RAID 3 spreads the data onto multiple drives, using byte-level striping and a dedicated parity disk. This type of RAID provides fast transfer rates, and is used for editing uncompressed video or accessing large data sets. Our mission is to help you recover your files, and quickly restore your data.

RAID 4 Systems

RAID 4 uses block-level striping and a dedicated parity disk. It requires a minimum of three disks to work. While this type of RAID has been replaced with RAID 5 and 6, HDD Recovery can still help you recover data from your RAID 4 system.

RAID 5 Systems

RAID 5 systems use block-level striping to distribute data across the array. RAID 5 systems are popular, since they provide low cost redundancy. The drawback is when the system fails, the parity of the stripe may become inconsistent with the data. Don't worry, HDD Recovery can help recover your data when a RAID 5 crashes.

RAID 6 Systems

RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5, but adds an additional parity block. This type of RAID is popular because two hard drives can fail without data loss. This doesn't mean your data is completely safe. If the operator replaces the wrong drive (read section below) you can still lose data, but HDD Recovery can get it back.

RAID 10 Systems

RAID 10 is made of a RAID 0 array that contains two or more RAID 1 systems. If a drive fails you can hot swap and rebuild the array. This does not mean your data is safe from damage or corruption. If a hardware or software malfunction has damaged your RAID 10 system HDD Recovery can help you recover your data.

RAID 0+1 Systems

This system uses a RAID 1 composed of two or more RAID 0 stripe sets. When a drive fails you can still access your data, but there can still be data loss. If you need to recover data from a RAID 0+1 system HDD Recovery can help get your data recovered and restored.

Problems With RAID Systems

While many RAID systems protect users from physical drive failure, the data on the hard drives can still be damaged from operator error, software, hardware, and computer viruses. If an operator replaces a wrong drive and then tries to rebuild the array, it could damage the array. If multiple drives fail, or another hard drive crashes while rebuilding the array, then your data can become damaged.
