WHAT IS A RAID DATA STORAGE SYSTEM

WHAT IS RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks)

"The purpose of RAID is to improve data reliability, availability, and performance in comparison to using a single disk."

A pink illustrations of a label stat states "Did you know?" in capital white letters.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple physical hard drives into a single logical unit to provide enhanced performance, data redundancy, and increased storage capacity. The purpose of RAID is to improve data reliability, availability, and performance in comparison to using a single disk.

In a RAID configuration, the multiple physical drives work together as a unified system. The data is distributed and organized across the drives according to a specific RAID level or configuration, which determines how data is stored, duplicated, or striped across the drives. The redundancy provided by RAID configurations ensures that data remains available and accessible even in the event of drive failures. By distributing or replicating data across multiple drives, RAID systems can withstand drive failures without compromising the integrity or availability of stored information.

It's important to note that while redundancy provides protection against drive failures, it does not eliminate the need for regular backups. Redundancy guards against drive failures within the RAID system, but backups are still essential for protection against other risks such as accidental deletion, catastrophic events, or system-level failures.

WE RECOVER DATA FROM ALL THE BELOW RAID TYPES:

  • RAID 1E (combination RAID)

  • RAID 1E0 

  • RAID 2 (obsolete)

  • RAID 3 (uncommon)

  • RAID 5EE

If you do not see the RAID type you are looking for listed here, please contact us for a complete list.

THE MOST COMMON RAID CONTROLLERS:

The RAID controller acts as the central component that manages the RAID array. If the RAID controller fails due to hardware malfunctions, firmware errors, or compatibility issues, it can disrupt the functioning of the entire RAID system and potentially lead to data loss.

MOST COMMON RAID DATA RECOVERY TYPES

"RAID provides redundancy, which means that if one disk fails, the data can be recovered from the remaining disks in the array."

WE RECOVER FROM ALL OF THE BELOW RAID TYPES:

  • RAID 0 (Striping): THE MOST LIKELY TO LEAD TO PERMANENT DATA LOSS. Data is split evenly across multiple drives, improving read and write performance. However, RAID 0 does not provide redundancy, so if one drive fails, data loss occurs.

  • RAID 1 (Mirroring): Data is duplicated on multiple drives, providing redundancy. If one drive fails, data remains accessible on the other drive(s). RAID 1 offers high data reliability but reduces storage capacity due to mirroring. ALLOWS FOR UP TO ONE DRIVE TO FAIL.

  • RAID 5 (Striping with Parity): Data is striped across multiple drives, and parity information is distributed across the drives. RAID 5 provides both performance improvement and redundancy. If one drive fails, data can be reconstructed using the parity information. As the most common and best “all-round” RAID level, RAID 5 stripes data blocks across all drives in an array (at least 3 to a maximum of 32), and also distributes parity data across all drives (Figure 5).

  • RAID 6: RAID 6 provides higher fault tolerance compared to RAID 5 by using dual parity. This level can withstand the failure of two drives simultaneously. RAID 6 is preferred in business setups where data integrity and availability are crucial.

  • RAID 10: RAID 10 combines mirroring (RAID 1) and striping (RAID 0). It provides excellent performance through data striping while offering redundancy by mirroring data across multiple drive pairs. RAID 10 is commonly used in business environments that require both high performance and data protection.

An illustration of a label (with a pink background) and white text in bold writing, stating "RECOMMENDED".

RAID 5 and RAID 6 are ideal for small to medium business where you can enjoy the increased performance and storage configurations at low cost. RAID 10 is a good option for a large business with a large budget and you can enjoy maximum benefits.

  • JBOD: JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) is not technically considered a RAID configuration. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) refers to a specific set of data storage techniques that involve combining multiple drives into a logical unit with various levels of data redundancy, striping, or parity. JBOD represents a simpler and more straightforward approach to combining multiple drives without RAID's data protection or performance-enhancing features.

SUMMARY OF COMMON RAID TYPES

A grey and white table disucssing basic RAID types in one coloumn and what they mean in another.

RAID storage systems either use a software or a hardware controller to ensure the RAID arrays work together. A common reason behind RAID data loss is a corrupt or failing RAID controller. One telltale sign of this is data loss, even though all individual drives are in full working order.

DATA RECOVERY FROM A NESTED OR HYBRID RAID

Explained above, are the basic RAID levels. But, you can combine two different RAID types according to your specific use case. A hybrid RAID, also known as nested RAID or hybrid RAID level, is a combination of two or more traditional RAID levels to leverage their respective benefits and create a hybrid configuration. It aims to provide a balance between performance, capacity, and data redundancy tailored to specific requirements. 

 

While there are various hybrid RAID types, the most common one is RAID 10 (RAID 1 + RAID 0). A RAID 10 setup requires four disks and can survive two failed disks. Due to their nature, nested RAIDs require more number of disks than their regular counterparts. Other nested RAID types include RAID 50 (RAID 5 + RAID 0) and RAID 60 (RAID 6 and RAID 0), which require a minimum of six and eight storage drives respectively.

  • Software bugs or errors leading to file system inconsistencies.

An illustration of a label (with a pink background) and white text in bold writing, stating "IMPORTANT".

RAID Controller Failure: The RAID controller acts as the central component that manages the RAID array. If the RAID controller fails due to hardware malfunctions, firmware errors, or compatibility issues, it can disrupt the functioning of the entire RAID system and potentially lead to data loss. To mitigate the impact of RAID controller failure, it is important to have regular backups of critical data and consider redundant RAID controller setups, where a backup controller takes over in case of a primary controller failure. Additionally, working with professional data recovery services can help recover data from failed RAID controllers and restore the RAID system to a functional state.

❗️ RAID Controller - Conductor of an Orechestra: 
 
Imagine you have a RAID system with multiple hard drives. The RAID controller is like the conductor of an orchestra. It manages the interaction between the hard drives and ensures they work together harmoniously. It helps organise Data Distribution, Redundancy and Fault Tolerance and Rebuilding. If a drive fails, the RAID controller steps in to maintain the integrity of the RAID system. It uses the redundancy or parity information to reconstruct the missing data on a replacement drive.

4.

Multiple Hard Drive Failure Data Recovery:

RAID configurations that lack sufficient fault tolerance (such as RAID 0 or certain RAID 5 setups) are vulnerable to data loss if multiple drives fail simultaneously. The probability of data loss increases as the number of failed drives exceeds the RAID's redundancy capabilities. However, even RAID types that may be set-up to have a higher fault tolerance (such as a RAID 6 or even a Synology Hybrid RAID) can lead to data loss if more than the allowed number of hard drives fail simultaneously. 

Hard drive failures can lead to RAID data loss in a RAID system due to the following reasons:

  • Data Striping: In RAID configurations such as RAID 0 or RAID 5, data is striped across multiple drives. If one drive fails, a portion of the data stored on that drive is lost. As a result, the RAID system may be unable to reconstruct the original data, leading to data loss.

  • Redundancy and Parity: RAID configurations with redundancy, such as RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 6, utilize parity information or mirrored drives to protect against drive failures. However, if a drive fails and the redundant or parity information is compromised (e.g., due to multiple drive failures or corrupted data), the RAID system may not be able to rebuild the missing data correctly, resulting in data loss.

  • Rebuilding Challenges: When a drive fails, the RAID system initiates a rebuild process to reconstruct the lost data on a replacement drive. However, during this rebuilding process, if additional drives encounter errors, become unreadable, or fail, it can interrupt or hinder the reconstruction process, leading to data loss.

  • Multiple Drive Failures: In RAID configurations that lack sufficient fault tolerance (e.g., RAID 0), multiple drive failures can cause complete data loss. Since there is no redundancy in these configurations, any failure in a single drive can result in the loss of all data stored across the entire RAID array.

  • Human Error or Mistakes: Sometimes, when attempting to replace or rebuild drives in a RAID system, human errors can occur. These errors can inadvertently lead to the loss of data or the incorrect rebuilding of the RAID array, resulting in data loss.

🔨 It's crucial to regularly monitor the health of hard drives in a RAID system, promptly replace failed drives, and ensure proper backup practices are in place. Additionally, engaging professional data recovery services can be valuable in cases of hard drive failures, as they possess the expertise and tools to recover data from damaged or failed drives in RAID systems, minimizing the risk of permanent data loss.

❗️ Disk Failures: The most critical reason for RAID failure and data loss is the physical or logical failure of one or more drives within the RAID array. Drive failures can be caused by various factors such as mechanical issues, electrical problems, or firmware errors. A single drive failure in a RAID configuration can lead to data loss or reduced redundancy if not addressed promptly.

It's important to note that each data loss scenario is unique, and the success of data recovery depends on several factors such as the severity of the damage, the expertise of the data recovery specialists, and the available resources and technologies.

OTHER RAID DATA RECOVERY INFOMRATION

IMPORTANT TECHNICAL TERMINOLOGY:

  • 💻 Data Striping: Data striping is a technique used in RAID to divide and spread data across multiple drives in a way that improves performance. It's like dividing a large puzzle into smaller pieces and distributing them among different people to work on simultaneously. When the data is striped across the drives, it enables parallel access, meaning multiple drives can work together to retrieve or store data faster than a single drive could on its own. This can be especially beneficial for tasks that involve large file transfers, video editing, or database operations where speedy access to data is crucial. Data striping is most common in RAID 0 (RAID 0 is entirely based on striping), RAID 5 combines striping with distributed parity, RAID 6 also uses striping with dual distributed parity and RAID 10 (or RAID 1+0) combines striping and mirroring.

An illustration with a large white exclemation point and the word, important written in white underneath it, on a red background.

Our Wildfire Data Recovery RAID engineers have identified the following important terms that all our clients should know:

❗️Data striping - It's like dividing a large puzzle into smaller pieces and distributing them among different people to work on simultaneously.

🔨 Parity: Parity is a form of error-checking data that is calculated and stored alongside the actual data in some RAID levels, such as RAID 5 and RAID 6. Parity information is used to facilitate data recovery in case of drive failure. It allows the RAID system to reconstruct lost or damaged data by utilizing the parity information and the remaining data in the array. Parity helps provide fault tolerance and data redundancy in RAID arrays.

⚠️ EXAMPLE

Imagine you have a team of friends who want to keep track of the number of pizzas they ate at a series of pizza parties. Each friend will write down the number of slices they had on a piece of paper. To ensure the accuracy of the total count, they decide to use a parity method. In this scenario, the parity method involves counting the number of slices eaten by each person and determining whether the total count is even or odd. If the total count is even, they will assign a parity value of 0. If the total count is odd, they will assign a parity value of 1.

Let's say the friends have the following pizza slice counts:

Friend A: 3 slices

Friend B: 4 slices

Friend C: 2 slices

To calculate the parity, they add up the individual counts:

3 + 4 + 2 = 9

Since the total count is odd, they assign a parity value of 1.

Using the parity value, they can detect and correct errors in the recorded slice counts, ensuring the accuracy of the total count.

In RAID systems, parity is utilized in a similar manner to detect and recover from errors in data stored across multiple drives. It enables the RAID system to reconstruct missing or corrupt data by using the remaining data and parity information, ensuring data integrity and recoverability.

Understanding these RAID terminologies is essential for effectively configuring, managing, and troubleshooting RAID systems. Familiarity with RAID levels, data striping, and parity helps in making informed decisions regarding the choice of RAID configurations, optimizing performance, and ensuring data reliability.
