RAID 0+1 Data Recovery
|
RAID configured systems have become fundamental in the vast majority of enterprises across the world. High fault tolerance as well as the relative cost effectiveness of RAID systems make them appealing for a wide variety of applications, including storage solutions, high-load servers, and performance workstations.
The talent on our team is unmatched and gives us a powerful edge for performing RAID 0+1 data recovery. Our experts work around the clock to recover your critical data as quickly and effectively and possible.
We treat server and RAID recovery jobs as high priority cases. We realize the importance that these platforms tend to have, and many businesses depend on their servers as they are an integral part of their operation.

RAID 0+1 Data Loss
Due to the lack of fault tolerance as well as the fragmented nature of the storage scheme, the failure of any one drive in the array will result in the failure of the entire array. Data recovery is often possible, depending on the nature of the damage, but the lack of redundancy may make recovery more difficult.
Some common causes of RAID 0 data loss are:
-
RAID Controller Failure
-
Lost, Damaged, or Corrupted RAID Array Configuration
-
Accidental Formatting
-
Intermittent Drive Failure
-
Incorrect Drive Marking
-
Rebuild Errors
-
Addition of an Incompatible Drive
-
Hardware Conflict
What to Do If Your RAID 0+1 Array Fails?
-
Do not reboot: Simply power down the server/computer and the array. Rebooting can cause serious damage when a RAID array fails.
-
If you suspect mechanical failure, power down the array immediately: If a drive is making an unusual noise, such as clicking or grinding, power it off as soon as possible. Continuing to run a physically failed drive can cause irreparable damage to the platters where data is stored.
-
Do not run defragment or volume repair utilities on suspected failed drives: Utilities such as chkdsk, scandisk, and fsck are generally not intended for RAID repair. They are designed to solve very specific problems relating to the filesystem, and unless you are sure you have these problems, you should avoid running them at all costs. These operations involve moving and writing a lot of data, which can make the damage far worse.
-
Furthermore, the kinds of problems that these utilities are meant to fix can often exhibit themselves in cases where the actual cause of the original problem is different. Running these operations can be very dangerous!
-
Label the positions of all drives in the RAID array and mark the one that failed: People panic when they lose data, and in attempting to fix the situation, it happens surprisingly often that they will mix up the order of the drives or forget which ones failed. This is understandable - data loss can be highly stressful. But it can make data recovery more difficult when we lack such information, so please take care to label your drives as soon as you can.
-
Please note that drives in a RAID array are numbered starting from 0.
-
Log the events you observed that led to the failure: This will provide valuable information that will make the data recovery effort more likely to succeed.
-
Also please log all attempts you have made, if any, to remedy the problem and any consequences you observed.
-
Do not change the order of the drives in an array: When the situation is already dangerous, you run an extremely high risk of data loss if you alter the RAID configuration in any way.
-
Do not swap another disk into the array: This can also become catastrophic if done incorrectly. New disks have to be completely zeroed out before insertion, and it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions when swapping. It is highly advisable not to perform this operation in any potential data loss scenario.
RAID 0+1 Recovery
Generally, data recovery from a RAID system is feasible, but the knowledge, time and resources that are required make RAID recovery the most technically demanding form of data recovery. RAID manufacturers differ vastly in their designs of the internal components and circuitry of their systems, and an in-depth knowledge of these designs is crucial for successful data recovery. But because manufacturers do not disclose this information, RAID recovery techniques require many years of development in order to determine which ones are the most effective.
Although the lack of redundancy tends to be a prohibitive factor in the recovery process, the likelihood of a successful RAID 0 recovery is still fairly good. Once we manage to extract a full image of all the data on the array, the RAID 0 recovery process becomes similar to that of a standard single-disk hard drive.
After receiving your RAID system, we will quickly assess the extent of the damage and connect you with an expert who can guide you on the best course of action for your specific situation. Our recovery engineers will work around the clock to recover your critical data. If the data cannot be recovered, we do not charge a recovery fee. We can recover data from all servers, home computers, direct-network RAID storage devices, NAS devices, SAN systems, and a wide variety of other storage environments. Our engineers have performed countless successful RAID recoveries over their two decades of combined experience.
Data loss can be an incredibly stressful ordeal. We empathize with what you're going through - that's why we put so much effort into making our service easier, quicker, and friendlier to use. Above all, we go to great lengths to ensure that the data recovery operation itself is safe and successful.
-
Our recovery engineers have the most experience, the best tools, and the brightest minds - they have performed over 5,000 successful data recovery operations and have recovered terabytes of data in the process.
