Can RAID 5 be recovered?

RAID 5 level is best known for added security since it applies both striping and parity data distribution techniques. Although RAID 5 configuration have a higher fault tolerance, a drive failure may affect data throughput.
That said, if one disk fails, the data can easily be recovered from the remaining disks by an expert. If you’re concerned about multiple disks breaking down, contact our data recovery advisors for a free evaluation of your RAID 5 array.

WHAT TO DO WHEN A RAID 5 ARRAY FAILS

Though RAID 5 system provides increased security, it can still be exposed to physical damage and other failures that may lead to significant risks for your data. So it’s important to know what measures should be taken to prevent further corruption and loss of data in case something goes wrong. If your RAID 5 is behaving strangely, make sure to follow these three steps to prevent the situation from getting worse:

STEP 01

Determine the failure level by checking your RAID drives’ status. Verify if there is RAID or SERVER FAILURE and whether it needs to be shut down.

STEP 02

If possible, shut down the storage device or cancel any rebuilds if they weren’t properly setup. To clarify, the proper setup for rebuild is A) Data is backed up. B) RAID was in degraded mode with minimum amount of disks present and operational. C) failed member(s) are correctly replaced and verified to be same capacity devices.

STEP 03

A data recovery advisor can further help navigate the situation with our engineers to determine the if we have to do remote, on-site, or in-lab recovery depending on scenario. A quick call with us may prevent a very expensive and lengthy downtime.

Typically a hard drive failure. Your system could be struggling for a variety of reasons, but it is likely due to a mechanical or logical error in your hard drive.

This issue could be an electrical issue due to a power surge or faulty power supply. Depending on how urgent files are needed, searching for backup file information is your best temporary fix while your device is being worked on. If files are not backed up, that does not mean the information is gone for good.

Irregular noises such as these coming from your hard drive are not a good sign. You should turn off your device in a logical manner to prevent any further damage, then contact us.

Error messages are often an indication there is a logical error with your hard drive. On occasion, this can be fixed using data recovery software.

This could be due to a problem with the BIOS settings, a physical hard drive issue, or a connection failure. If the drive is removed and inserted into a different computer but is unable to work properly, you should contact a data recovery professional immediately.

When a hard drive physically stops working, that is the crash. When this happens, a drive can fail to boot, respond slowly, or not power on at all. A computer not turning on is a sign that the hard drive could have crashed.
