There's much information for persons who are interested in RAID recovery. The utilization of embedded Raid controller often requires Raid array restoration facilities. Let us get an instance. You have installed an embedded chip set controller from AMD SB 600 with the installed Raid array. It worked without any problems and you're happy, but then there came time to renew your aged equipment. And you decided to select Intel Core central processing unit. You've settled what main board to select and you see there an embedded ICH9R controller, you have replaced your hard disk, but Raid array still can't be determined. There are 2 ways out obtainable for you:

1. There is a way of receiving new hard disks and making a new Raid array on them. In this case you would have to transport the old info to new hard drives and spend a great amount of time to recover preceding Raid array.

2. Also you can use the facilities of data restoration laboratory where the professionals will recover your data for some short term and for little amount of money. Or you may get a Raid recovery program to recover it by yourself. If you would use outer Raid array such a difficulty would not just subsist, because you are simply to transport a controller with hard drives. One more difficulty is that the built-in Raid controllers that are available in the market, are semi-hard. And this kind of controllers may restore just the arrays 1, 0+1, 5 and they do not use the other means of file restoration.

The method of “mirroring” may assure safety. Some people claim that if you would not utilize stripe (Raid 0), you're certainly protected from Raid arrays and file recovery. But there are cases when no “mirroring” will assist you because there are lots of problems as virus assaults, driver difficulties in the OS and electricity failures. But what is the resolution of this type of difficulty then? In this case you must not try to restore the files from a Raid array or to recover the whole Raid array. The cleverest thing you may do here is to switch off your PC and bring it to a file recovery specialist or to receive a specialized software. Follow these steps and you would be capable to save and recover all your information from Raid arrays. Read the rest of this entry »
