RAID 0 Recovery


RAID 0 Recovery

RAID 0 is pure, block-level striping. This means the drive is broken up into “blocks” – also known as “stripe size” which can usually be defined when initially building the array. Stripe size is normally chosen depending on the type of data stored on the array; a large stripe size for large files such as video, and smaller for general data and databases.

There is absolutely no redundancy in RAID 0; if only one of the drives fail, all access will be lost to all the data. The only chance of recovery is to repair and recover the failed drive, after which RAID rebuild procedures will need to take place.

Retrodata have exceptional skills at RAID 0 recovery. Not only are we probably the quickest option available to recover RAID 0 arrays, but we have a flawless track record dating back to June 2009. We have not failed to recover a single RAID 0 array (nor that with any other RAID level) since then.
