The article runs about Dynamic Disk Recovery and all the things connected with it. If you utilize built-in Raid controller, it may require the Raid array restoration facilities. Let's take an instance. You've installed a built-in chip set controller from AMD SB 600 with the equipped Raid array. You were glad because all the things acted without any problems, but suddenly the time of your personal computer renewal came. Of course you should have settled to choose Intel Core central processing. You have chosen a motherboard, but there's an embedded controller ICH9R, replaced hard disk drives and Raid array cannot be determined. There're 2 ways out available for you:
1. You can get new hard drives and create absolutely new Raid array and transport all information from the old machine to a new one that requires lots of expenditures and much time to restore a preceding Raid array.
2. Or you can apply to a “Data restoration laboratory” where your Raid array will be restored for some certain sum of money and during short period of time by facilities of file transfer. But the difficulty would not just exist in case when people use external Raid array, because in this case people should only transport a controller with hard disks. Another problem is semi-hardware controllers that overfilled the market nowadays. And this kind of controllers may recover only the arrays 1, 0+1, 5 and they don't utilize some other methods of data restoration.
The utilization of “mirroring” as guarantee of safety. Some persons say that if you wouldn't use stripe (Raid 0), you are surely secured from Raid arrays and file restoration. But in situation of electricity difficulties, driver difficulties in operating system, virus attacks one can lose two hard drives at once and it will not be saved by any mirroring. So, what people can do in this case? You may only restore the files from Raid array or restore the Raid array in whole. The best thing you may do here is to switch off your PC and take it to a data recovery expert or to receive a specialized program. Follow these steps and you will be capable to protect and restore all your information from Raid arrays. (read more » )
