What To Expect With a RAID Server & Data Recovery
What To Expect With a RAID Server & Data Recovery Common RAID Server Failures And Data Loss Issues RAID controller failure or configuration changed Two or more hard drives fail or go offline Server crashes and won't remount the array or volume(s) Configuration becomes corrupt or damaged Adding incompatible hard drives Hardware conflicts Software corruption Virus infection, software and operating system upgrades Recovering Data From RAID 0 Hard Drive Configurations Because data on a RAID array or volume is typically critical to business continuity, when it becomes inaccessible due to one or more hard drives failing, a bad RAID controller, multiple hard drive failure, failed upgrade or damaged striping, RAID status in degraded mode, or errors with the MFT mount points, it is imperative that you shut the server down and get help. Permanent data loss often occurs when hard drives are swapped, moved from one position to another or placed in other machines in an attempt to rebuild or repair the array. Formatting a boot drive or partition can also damage or remove striping, which reduces the recoverability of data and causes permanent loss
