Almost every Business entrepreneur prefers RAID arrays to save their vital business files, all information of business assets like customer details, financial details, inventories, and more.

Why RAID, you wonder? RAID stands for a Redundant array of independent disks that configure multiple disks that read/write data simultaneously. The most attractive feature is a redundancy that gives fault-tolerance to the entire RAID array whenever a failure occurs. However, RAID failure tends to happen even after the fault-tolerance, which leads to inaccessible data.

RAID data recovery is the only way you can fix the data loss problems, but before that, you have to avoid attempting a few things that can risk losing your precious data forever.

RAID Failure Causes

Several mechanical and human errors lead to a RAID failure, and the risk the data stored is lost permanently.

👉 Accidental data deletion/reformatting
👉 RAID rebuild failure
👉 Controller failure
👉 Malware corruption
👉 Power surge
👉One or more disk failure
👉Fire or water damage

Do this, and your Failed RAID may Lose your Files Forever

Recovering failed RAID can be the most complicated process you can attempt. You can risk losing your vital data forever and breaking your business workflow for longer. To save your business from sinking, it is best to leave your RAID to a RAID data recovery center to resolve issues expertly.

Try DIY data recovery

Attempting DIY recovery on a RAID system is the best way to lose your data with your bare hands permanently. So! Avoid any DIY data recovery for your critical RAID failure. You may have more business projects lined up you won’t want to risk.

Rebuild RAID

If you attempt rebuilding in your RAID failure, this may result in overwritten data on the drives. The RAID controller commands how and where to require data, which may overwrite data during the rebuild process and make it almost impossible to recover data further.

Remove the disks

Your RAID array has a one-direction arrangement of the multiple disks that read/write together and store data. Replacing or removing any disk from the system may ruin the arrangement of the array and, ultimately, overwrite data.

Using data recovery software

If you plan to recover your RAID data with a recovery tool, it can make a recovery irreversible. Better not to do anything with your sensitive RAID array and contact a professional data recovery service provider.

Format or initialize

The formatting or reinitializing step may vanish your entire data forever by overwriting on the disks and replacing old information to new. In this case, professional RAID data recovery may not work too.

Conclusion

You can only be chill with your business information until your RAID is working fine. If you are into an illusion that your RAID will never get damaged or failed, you need to wake up from your dream. All RAID levels are vulnerable to failures and damages; it’s essential to prevent your RAID from any mishaps and send it to a professional RAID data recovery center when it fails, and your data becomes inaccessible.
