Whatever the cause of your Raid hardware failure and data loss, this is what you should do right now:
· Do not panic
· Never replace a failed drive with a drive that was part of a previous RAID system - always zero out the replacement drive before using
· If a drive is making unusual mechanical noises, turn it off immediately and get assistance
· Have a valid backup before making hardware or software changes
· Label the drives with their position in a RAID array
· Do not run volume repair utilities on suspected bad drives
· Do not run defragmenter utilities on suspected bad drives
· Do not attempt to repair the failed device
· Contact a Sydney Data Recovery expert at 1-800-287-225.
Data loss can cripple an organization but in most cases, the data can be retrieved.
