RAID (redundant array of independent disks or formally, redundant array of inexpensive disks) is a method of organizing and categorizing your computer?s files into a system of multiple hard drives that stores data. As your hard drive retrieves and stores data during use, RAID array works with your hard drive to store the data in a different way, over more disks and using an efficient algorithm. Primarily, this system is meant to improve the performance of your computer as data is organize more efficiently and effectively. Data is categorized function and then stored accordingly, allowing your computer to perform more efficiently as the hard drive is less cluttered with data. RAID is not meant to be used as a sole back-up system for your hard drive because in the event of drive failure data can become irretrievable. As RAID array works with your computer, the data is stored and sometimes copied, depending on the level of RAID. Because of this data storage, RAID recovery companies can be trusted to retrieve data from your hard drive(s) after a malfunction. Depending on the RAID level (a level which determines the necessary security and storage for each file) the data is stored on two or more disks, creating more copies of the files in case of hard drive malfunction.
There are multiple companies that offer RAID data recovery and many of these provide downloadable software that allows for at-home RAID recovery and rebuilding. When your computer?s RAID array malfunctions, your data is often lost and inaccessible through your hard drive. To recover that data, the RAID array must be rebuilt. This can either be done remotely through a data recovery company or by a technician affiliated with one of these companies at a physical location. Another option is software that allows for RAID to be reconfigured at-home with a step-by-step instruction to guide the user through the recovery process.
Stellar Phoenix RAID Recovery Tech is a downloadable software program that provides RAID rebuild and data recovery that is conducted in your own home. This software offers a free download that will run through the recovery process completely but will not release the recovered data until Continue reading What Is The Best Raid Repair Software? →
