When the RAID system becomes inaccessible, concerns over data integrity makes the situation even more complicated. RAID array drive setup failures can result in causing losses of thousands of dollars. The scenarios can be even worse with clients filing for litigation and failing data privacy and security. Henceforth, it becomes of primary importance to get the RAID device repaired at the earliest possible moment and make things run systematically as it used to be earlier. However, trying to recover the drive on your own can prove to be fatal unless you possess the best of knowledge in RAID data recovery.
Focus on the RAID Card
What resulted in RAID failure? There are instances when the CARD needs to be blamed. If the RAID card is not smoked but shows up warning message indicating potential data loss if a process is being initiated, do believe it and stay away from using the drive. More importantly, contact a RAID repair expert immediately and explain the condition to ensure quick recovery and suitable data protection and backup.
Overlooking the manuals can be fatal
Every RAID card comes with a high quality detailed manual guide. These manuals explain clearly and in details about the inner working process of the cards. Overlooking these manuals can be fatal. In most of the card manuals, you will find information about the non-descriptive and archaic warnings and error messages. During the installation of the data card, it is necessary to go through the manuals in detail. It will help to prevent chances of RAID failure.
The rebuilding process doesn’t have anything to do with the RAID file system repairing process, neither it makes those data accessible that previously were not. Rebuild never promises to retrieve the missing data. Also, it will never fix any corrupt partition or file. The rebuilding process will simply focus on the present state or condition of the drive and makes sure that the redundancy part is restored.
