RAID 50 SERVER RAID RECOVERY

RAID 50 Data Recovery Service from True Industry Experts

Data loss can be one of the most expensive disasters to befall your business. If your organization loses its contacts, leads, employee information and digital versions of intellectual property, downtime and the cost of recreating it could be catastrophic. Companies invest in Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) so data is continually available. A RAID 50 provides a high level of speed and performance, but it isn’t foolproof. Here’s what your business needs to know about data recovery for RAID 50.

WHAT IS RAID 50?

RAID 50 uses at least six drives to combine data striping from RAID 0 and distributed parity similar to RAID 5, so it is sometimes referred to as RAID 5 + 0. RAID 50 stripes with parity, then arranges multiple parity stripes one right after another.

When choosing an array, organizations often compare RAID 50 and RAID 10 to select the best solution. RAID 50 requires more disk space for parity, so it supplies less disk space than a RAID 5. However, since RAID 10 uses half of its capacity for mirroring, RAID 50 provides similar reduced risk and increased capacity.

With RAID 50, each array can stand to lose a single disk without damaging the array. As long as each RAID 50 array within the system is small, your risk of damaging disk loss decreases. However, failure is still possible. Multiple disk faults within RAID 50 arrays can cause the whole RAID 50 to go bad.

The Cost of Data Loss

Array failure causes productivity to grind to a halt for many organizations. Dell Security conducted surveys on data loss that analyzed the impact of reputation damage, downtime, and technology repair costs in a recent report. They found the average cost of data loss was $5.4 million for U.S. corporations, with small businesses being the most vulnerable.

Hardware failure causes 57 percent of data loss, according to Dell. Human error, viruses, natural disasters and software corruption account for the rest. After a loss, the data can either be recovered by a professional or lost forever. Even if the loss only impacts one employee, it often has a ripple effect throughout an organization. As the employee’s productivity drops, he or she is less able to respond to others within your organization.

While businesses know their data are critical, a large percentage of them do not regularly back up their data. One 2017 analysis found 58 percent of small to mid-sized businesses are not prepared for a data loss, even though an estimated 140,000 hard drives fail every week in the United States.

HELP! WHAT DO I DO IF MY RAID SYSTEM DRIVES FAIL?

It depends on the RAID level and your knowledge of the system. If it is a complicated setup that you are unfamiliar with or feel uncomfortable at all, contact a data recovery RAID professional immediately, especially where critical information is involved. In the event of a single hard drive failure in a redundant RAID type where the data is still accessible, replace the failed drive with an exact spare and let it rebuild the array. If you have a second failure, or you have hot spares set up and you are unsure of the order of the drives, you will only make matters much worse or even unrecoverable if you try to replace or rebuild drives. Whatever you do, do not reinitialize your system if you are concerned for you data.

We have seen countless situations where staff that is not completely familiar with their systems, try to ‘fix’ the problem but only make it impossible to perform a RAID data recovery. In most of these situations, it would have been possible if they contacted a data recovery professional before trying to reinitialize.
