Various RAID levels and configurations, such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, etc. are used to cater to the diverse data usage patterns and storage requirements. Among these, RAID 5 is the most popular level, widely used by individuals and enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A RAID 5 server is nothing but a RAID 5 array that employs block-level data striping with a single parity distributed among the drives. It has a fault tolerance of 1 drive, i.e., if one drive fails, the array will survive, and you can retrieve the data without any loss. However, if two or more disks fail, it will result in a complete RAID 5 server failure, causing permanent data loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fault tolerance aside, there are several reasons behind RAID 5 failure and subsequent data loss. These are \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Human errors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Drive failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Software failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Controller failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Mechanical errors<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Power outage<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 DDoS attack<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Malware attack<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, a broken or corrupt RAID 5 array might not show the data present on it or even become inaccessible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are two major cases of data loss in RAID 5. These are \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Single disk failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Multiple disk failure<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In case of single disk failure<\/strong>, there is a chance of RAID 5 data recovery. This is because RAID 5 has a fault tolerance of 1 disk failure. However, in case of multiple disk<\/strong> <\/strong>failure<\/strong> in a RAID 5 array, data is lost permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn how a powerful RAID 5 recovery software can simplify the RAID 5 file recovery process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recover RAID 5 Data Using Advanced RAID RecoverySoftware<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this section, we will learn how to recover data from a failed RAID 5 server with a single disk failure. If you are in a similar situation and want to skip the hassle of the manual process of performing RAID recovery by hot-swapping the disks, use a specialized RAID data recovery software<\/strong><\/a><\/a>. Such software works for both degraded drives and logically failed RAID arrays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A RAID recovery software is an advanced data recovery solution that helps recover data and files from failed or crashed RAID 5 arrays. It recovers files from a failed RAID 5 array by virtually rebuilding it using various parameters fed by the user.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In cases\u00a0with\u00a0unknown\u00a0parameters,\u00a0the software automatically detects\u00a0the missing\u00a0parameters to\u00a0rebuild a virtual\u00a0RAID 5\u00a0array.This is done\u00a0by using patterns from the connected drives. Once the RAID 5 array is rebuilt, the software\u00a0scans it for recoverable data.\u00a0It uses parity and the healthy drive to rebuild the missing data by applying\u00a0XOR operation<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the detailed steps for using this software \u2013<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Purchase and install Stellar Data Recovery Technician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Launch it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0On the first screen,\u00a0select the type of data you want to recover. By default \u2018All Data<\/strong>\u2019\u00a0is selected.\u00a0Click\u00a0Next<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0On the next screen, select\u00a0RAID Recovery<\/strong>\u00a0and click\u00a0Scan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 It will open the RAID Reconstruction<\/strong> window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0Select\u00a0RAID type<\/strong>\u00a0and other details like Parity Order, Block Size, etc.\u00a0After adding all the details, click on\u00a0Build\u00a0RAID<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0It will open the\u00a0Select Constructed<\/strong>\u00a0RAID\u00a0<\/strong>window. Click on the reconstructed RAID and click\u00a0the\u00a0Show Volume List<\/strong>\u00a0button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0This step\u00a0will bring up a list of volumes. Select a volume from which you want to recover data and click on\u00a0Scan<\/strong>.\u00a0If you want to recover data from the whole disk, select the\u00a0Physical Disk<\/strong>\u00a0option and click\u00a0Scan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 The software will scan for the missing files. Wait for a few moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 Once the software displays all the recoverable files, preview them to check their integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022\u00a0If satisfied, click on\u00a0Recover<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RAID 5 servers offer various storage benefits, including data security, higher read\/write speeds, and more. But, like any other data storage device, they are also susceptible to data loss due todrive corruption, controller failure, malware attacks, etc. If you have a corrupt or failed RAID 5 server, use the above methods to recover data from RAID 5 array.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Various RAID levels and configurations, such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, etc. are used to cater to the diverse data usage patterns and storage requirements.
