RAID Recovery Made Easy
Raid Recovery offers home and office users an affordable and easily usable way to recover lost data and repaid damaged RAID arrays of various types.
RAID-0 Data Recovery.
Recover RAID-0 with RAID Recovery.
RAID-0 is one of the most widespread layers of RAID of one of the oldest specification. This level introduces Striping to get the drive volumes larger that you have. In two drive array each file is cut into blocks and one half of blocks stored on the one drive when another one is on the second. RAID-0 allows to create array over as many drives as you want. It also increases the reading and writing speeds, as the blocks can be read and write to each drive simultaneously.
On a typical two-drive RAID-0 set each data block is stored in the array only once. So if any block became damaged, the file that contains that block became damaged too.
There's a big problem with the RAID-0. As it doesn't use any data protection mechanism, but the number of drives is more than one, it has the level of safety of a half of one hard drive for the array of two drives, one third for the array of three and so on. That's why even if one of the drives became inaccessible, it means almost complete damage to the rest files on the whole array and so RAID-0 data recovery may be difficult. Only the files smaller than stripe size can be safe in such cases.
What to do if I have problems with my RAID-0?
Backup your data. But if you can't access some files or even the whole array, it's time to perform RAID-0 data recovery with RAID Recovery. You need to disable the RAID and make drives appear as separate devices to let RAID Recovery manage the recovery process completely. Start RAID Recovery and run RAID Wizard. Configure the Wizard mode for RAID-0 data recovery as on the picture - select Standard Mode and RAID.
On the next screen select RAID level for RAID-0 data recovery, choose disk count you've used in the array and select the stripe size of you know it.
Next form will ask you to select the drives you've used in your RAID. Select them and continue RAID-0 data recovery.
On the RAID constructor screen you should check all the available RAID configurations and leave at least one that matches your file and folder structure closely. Here you can also try different stripe sizes to gain better results of RAID-0 data recovery.
When you'll complete the RAID Wizard, your new virtually created RAID ready for next step of RAID-0 data recovery will appear in the list of devices available to scan marked in red. Now click it to open Disk Wizard for RAID-0 data recovery.
Remember, it's not a good idea to keep the important data on RAID-0 array. It's good for speed and when the data is not important or can be easily restored from backup. For the valuable data and archive you should take a look on another RAID levels with better data safety.
