When Your RAID 5 Storage Device Fails You Need Professional Help
Let’s make the assumption that you have chosen to keep all your company’s vital data on a centrally accessed RAID 5 storage volume. The device itself sits underneath a desk where it is not seen by the users. Four months ago (unknown to you or your IT people) one of the hard drives that comprises the RAID 5 array fails. A RAID 5 storage volume is configured precisely to be able to survive such a situation and still offer all user data, consequently everyone still has access to all of their information, and due to the physical location of the RAID 5 device no one is aware that there has been a failure.
Skip forward to today (four months later) a second hard drive in the array goes down. Even a RAID 5 cannot survive this and now there is no access to the user data. In this situation you need professional RAID data recovery services to recover the critical data from the RAID array safely and quickly.
