The Complexity of RAID Data Recovery
RAID data recovery is a complex procedure that requires detailed knowledge of the RAID subsystem and its functions. Multiple software tools are used for extracting the data. Once the data is extracted, it is analysed to check whether the corrupted data can be recovered. The speed at which this process occurs depends on a number of factors, including the drive configuration, the controller's chipset, and how much information has been lost during the corruption event. The probability of a successful RAID data recovery is directly related to the level of complexity of the RAID configuration. The more complex the configuration, the lower your chances for a successful RAID data recovery in case of a hard disk failure. The most common type of RAID configurations are: · RAID 0 Block-level striping without parity or mirroring · RAID 1 Mirroring without parity or strip...
