Recovering Data with RAID Recovery
RAID or Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks is a giant leap in the sphere of data storage and data recovery. RAID technology was developed because of the rising costs of high capacity drives in the servers for storing data. Added to it was the fact that the amount of data that needed to be stored was also increasing. In today’s world, where everything is computerized and the servers are getting overloaded, buying more and more high capacity drives is out of the question. The solution to this problem is the incorporation of raid hardware.
As the acronym RAID suggests, raid recovery uses an array of low cost drives to replace singular high capacity drives, mostly for redundancy and protection. This is because a collection of these inexpensive drives has greater capacity than a single costly drive or large capacity storage device and also can recover easily from system hazards like a circuit problem. In cases of a system failure in the server environment, raid recovery can easily be performed without shutting down the system. The success of the data recovery depends on the version of RAID that is used. Over the years, different versions have come on Read More…
