RAID Drive Failure Recovery

RAID Drive Failure

It’s every tech’s nightmare. What do you do when your supposed fail-safe, i.e. your RAID 5 or 10 system, reports a RAID drive failure? Even worse, what if your RAID server array reports multiple RAID drive failures? The answer is more complex than you might think. While there are several RAID repair software applications on the market, it is important to first note that they are usually ineffective, especially in cases where hardware has failed. After all, if your RAID drive is broken, how is it possible to recover to it?

Seek Professional Advice

Any RAID repair specialist worth his salt is likely willing to provide you with some free advice. Sometimes, merely making a call can ensure your simple RAID drive failure doesn’t turn into a catastrophic raid array loss. As experts in repairing RAID arrays, we at Hard Drive Recovery Group have seen time and time again that the worst issue in most RAID array failures is human intervention.

Panic and software “RAID repair tools” are the two enemies of effective RAID restoration, and are unfortunately the first two things that IT administrators look to when a server appears to be lost. The damage when one or both are engaged can be heinous.

RAID Repair Tools?

A RAID array, whether RAID 0, 10 or 50, is by nature a very complex storage solution. The subtleties of the format are such that it is always better to deal with a professional data recovery technician, as opposed to a boxed software solution. While even our RAID recovery technicians do use RAID failure diagnosis software, we never use “automatic” RAID repair software. In most cases, these data recovery applications are actually worse for your RAID array than doing nothing.

What’s more, if you have actually encountered a full-on mechanical RAID drive failure, they are all but useless. A RAID data recovery application may seem “cheap” at first, but is likely to be VERY expensive in the long run. And let’s face it: if you are using a RAID storage solution to save data, that data is probably very important to you. Why put it at risk?

Panic

While it sounds very obvious, you’d be surprised how many RAID drive failure repairs become impossible because of this simple human emotion. No matter how skilled an IT administrator is, 99 times out of 100, they are unlikely to be able to fix a failed RAID array. Especially when more than one RAID drive failure has occurred.

The result can frequently be panic, and even more data loss than originally expected. Whenever a RAID array needs repairing, it’s best to consult a professional. Sit back, analyze the situation, but whatever you do, DO NOT attempt to initiate RAID failure recovery on your own.
