A RAID partition acronym of Redundant Array of Independent Disks is a method for data storage that utilizes a technique of merging multiple hard drives called Disk Stripping, into a single logical disk in order to enhance the performance and data redundancy capacity. In Windows operating systems there are various levels of RAID such as RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-4, RAID-5, RAID-10, etc.
A RAID 5 partition devotes the equivalent space of one hard disk in a RAID 5 drive to store the parity stripes. But it allocates the parity stripes evenly across all the drives in the group. The stripes of all drives are scattered and addressed in order. RAID 5 volumes are best suited for large sequential accesses where there are more number of reads that writes, such as in large databases.
Lost RAID 5 partition - Overview:
Drive partitioning is a complex procedure and any if any errors are encountered during the process can turn that drive inaccessible. It is strongly advised to create a backup of all important data on that volume before repartitioning a RAID drive. But in cases you don’t have a backup and if any errors happen resulting in the RAID 5 partition getting lost due to any reasons, there is a high probability of losing all data from that drive.
A RAID 5 partition can go missing due to any unfortunate events such as the ones listed below. However, you will have to recover lost partition RAID 5 in order to rescue all its contents using Remo Recover software.
Factors responsible for the loss of partition in RAID5:
Remo Recover is a powerful and effective partition recovery tool that can search for missing partitions to successfully recover lost RAID 5 partition with ease. Apart from recovering lost RAID 5 partition, this tool can be used to recover other kinds of RAID partitions as well. Data on volumes which are affected by bad sectors can be also recovered using Remo Recover by creating disk images.
Remo Recover has a user friendly interface that eases restoring lost RAID 5 partition, even for a novice user. You can use the demo version of this tool to scan, restore and preview the contents from the recovered RAID 5 partition before getting the complete version of Remo Recover.
1. Download and install Remo Recover software on your Windows computer.
2. Choose the drive from where you want to recover data.
3. Now click on the Scan button from the main screen.
Note: Wait for the tool to finish Deep Scan. The tool allows you to view the recovered files through the Dynamic Recovery View option, you can also navigate to the Lost Partition folder in the Tree Structure. Additionally, the tool allows you to preview the recovered files using the Preview feature.
4. Finally, select the files which you want to restore and click on the Recover option.
