DIY RAID Data Recovery

I few years ago I could not even imaging suggesting that anyone attempt do it yourself RAID data recovery. RAID arrays are some of the most complicated computer hardware in existence. Surely if you have a RAID hardware problem stop rerading this and contact a RAID service lab. But if you have simply lost files somewhere in a RAID array modern software for RAID data recovery may be able to help you. Try a search on Google for RAID Data Recovery software and look into software from some of the better know compan ies such as Disk Doctors. On those sites you will find informnation that wil allow you to qualify your problem and determine if it can be handled on a DIY basis.

RAID Data Recovery - Unleashed

Redundant array of Independent / Inexpensive drives or commonly referred to as RAID, is a technology that supports two or more hard-drives in various hard drive configurations for the purposes of achieving increased performance, consistency through redundancy of data and hardware. RAID configuration usage varies but this type of configuration provides two major advantages.

• Augmented data reliability


• Augmented I/O (input/output) performance

A number of normal plans have evolved which are referred to as levels. There were five RAID levels originally, but many more variants have evolved, particularly several nested levels and many non-standard levels.

RAID joins physical hard disks into a single logical unit by using either special hardware such as RAID cards or software (Operating System).

Despite providing redundancy of hardware and data in the form stripes RAID systems are prone to data loss, which can be a result of human error, virus attacks or sabotages.

RAID data recovery is a special technique which requires continuous research, due to the variety of configurations due to various RAID cards and disk configuration techniques.

Even when standalone servers are becoming less popular for having RAID devices as it puts lot of load on the server, people have opted for more secure and faster storage techniques such as Network Storage device, which enables data transfers over network and offloads server from disk management and data transfer loads.

NAS devices are nothing but a box having a proprietary OS, RAID card which combines drives to form RAID 5 volume.

Disk Doctors Labs Inc. is a global leader and the best in the field of recovering data from RAID devices, the company has performed more than 5000 RAID recovery jobs and is continuously providing recovery of data from RAID devices such as Buffalo TeraStation, Snap Servers, Standalone RAID IOMEGA NAS box, servers, NAS & SAN devices and various other popular storage devices.
