Need of RAID Recovery

The term RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID is a collection of series of hard disks in the form of array. The aim of this system is to reduce the chances of data loss by storing same data at different places on various hard disks.

RAID system increases the reliability of data by storing it in series of hard drives. As if one of the hard drives from the series goes corrupted the data will remain protected on another hard drive in the series.
Because of this speed and availability of the data also increases. And it is quite not possible that all the hard drives in the array get corrupted simultaneously. RAID is divided into various levels as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 2, RAID 3, RAID 4 etc. in which data is repeated between various hard disks.

But sometime mishappening take place because of which your system goes corrupted. And it may be due to various reasons:

1. Virus attack
2. Power Failure
3. Controller failure: RAID system has various hard drives but only one controller; if it gets corrupted then automatically whole system will not work.
4. Wrong configuration of drives.
5. Natural calamities like water, fire etc.
6. Bad sectors in RAID array.
