RAID is the term for a complex method of data storage, which relies on splitting and copying information across a number of hard disks. The method was originally designed to allow users to increase their storage capacity by using several cheap disk-drives – hence the acronym RAID: Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks – but has developed to mean any multiple-drive storage system.
As such systems are designed to maximise the reliability of data storage and increase the capacity for input/output, a crash can be very serious due to the storage system’s very complexity. A good RAID data recovery service treats problems with these types of systems as a top priority.
Some of the problems encountered during the operation of RAID systems include the failure of the array or the controller card, corruption during the card’s set-up, a refusal to boot or multiple hard disk drive failure.
The initial professional diagnosis of a problem with a RAID system takes place in a laboratory environment. Here, the technician examines the disks to see if they are immediately accessible using specialised equipment. If the system is accessible, the technician copies all the data on to a new disk, leaving the original disks open to a full and safe analysis, and hopefully leading to full RAID data recovery.
