Important RAID data recovery information
- Do not try to rebuild or reinitialize your RAID
- Do not run FSCK on your RAID
- Do not run CHKDSK on your RAID
- Leave RAID Data Recovery to the Experts
Superior Recovery Process
Our RAID Data Recovery process involves state of the art resources and proprietary technology which allows 24 Hour Data to reconstruct and recover data from all types of RAID arrays. Our recovery rate on complicated RAID 0 arrays, and all other RAID types is above industry standard and affordable prices.
RAID array data recovery capabilities
- RAID 0,1,5,10,50 and all other types
- All RAID controller types
- All RAID controller manufacturers
- All Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices
RAID 0: Striping With No Redundancy
RAID 0 stripes data across multiple drives. RAID 0 is the least secure RAID level since one drive failing will bring down the array. The data is split up in blocks that get written across all the drives in the array. By using multiple disks (at least 2) at the same time, RAID 0 offers superior I/O performance. This performance can be enhanced further by using multiple controllers, ideally one controller per disk.
RAID 1: Mirroring
RAID 1 is the most secure RAID system. Data is mirrored to multiple drives. In the case of a single drive failing you have mirrored data on the second drive. You need at least 2 disks for a RAID 1 array. 24 Hour Data recommends RAID 1 for all 2 drive RAIDs.
RAID 5: Striping With Parity For Redundancy
RAID 5 is the most used level of RAID. RAID 5 uses larger data chunks. Instead of a dedicated parity disk, parity information is spread across all the drives. You need at least 3 disks for a RAID 5 array. A RAID 5 array can withstand a single disk failure without losing data or access to data. Although RAID 5 can be achieved in software, a hardware controller is recommended. Often extra cache memory is used on these controllers to improve the write performance.
