In this article we will look at how to recover lost data from a RAID 10 array.

The intensive development of Internet technologies has forced everyone to look at data security from a completely different angle since the consequences of losing important information can be measured in thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It led to the appearance of disk RAID arrays whose main purpose is to prevent data loss in case of hard drive failure. In this article, we will find out how to recover important data if a RAID 6 array fails.

RAID 1 is probably the most robust RAID type, but even it can fail. In this article we will look at the main causes of RAID 1 failure and how to recover from it in case of an unexpected RAID 1 malfunction.

In today’s world, everyone has long understood the value of information and the enormous potential inherent in the development of IT technology. Since servers and computers can fail, the question of how to ensure data security arose automatically, since the loss of important information can bankrupt entire companies, and losses can reach many millions. This in turn led to the emergence of RAID arrays, a technology that is designed to prevent data loss by combining several drives into one array. However, as the practice has shown, RAID arrays can also fail.

In this article we will look at the main causes of RAID failure.

Multi-drive arrays in RAID5 configuration provide an excellent balance of performance, security, and price, so they are often the user’s choice. What are the features of this RAID level? What problems are specific to RAID5? How to deal with unexpected situations? How to recover data from RAID 5 or the entire array if it is damaged?

No matter how powerful your computer is, it still has one weak point: the hard disk. It is responsible for your data integrity and security, and it has a significant impact on the performance of your PC. Besides, the hard drive is the only device in the system unit that has moving mechanical parts inside, and that is why it is a weak link that can wipe out all the power of your PC.

What is disk space, and why do I need it? What are its functions and benefits? How can I create disk space on my PC by myself, and how can I combine several different drives into a virtual logical partition? Answers to these questions can be found below.

Each year, the performance of computer hardware is increasing at a high rate. Processors are equipped with a large number of cores and streams, and graphics cards with a higher chip frequency. However, as for hard drives, it seems that their limit has been reached a long time ago and has been frozen since then. HDD specifications have recently been changing only in capacity, but not speed. SSD drives can correct this situation, but as a rule, they are much more expensive and have relatively low resource potential. Even before the advent of SSDs, so-called RAID arrays were invented in 1987. Below we will tell you what these arrays are, what kinds of arrays exist, and why a typical user needs them.
