RAID Data Recovery
RAID recovery: Over the years large corporations, home grown businesses, and end users have migrated their data storage needs from a single hard drive solution, to high speed, multi-cached, distributed I/O configurations. Redundant Array Of Independent Disks or RAID technology has been available for many years its prevalence has become increasingly significant due to larger operating systems, more robust applications, and a myriad of graphic and sound storage requirements. At DTI we understand all of these needs and address them on a personal level. The following are a list of action points that will help you, as well as us perform RAID Data recovery to recover your precious data.

We are offering an easy and inexpensive software to identify stale drives in RAID 5 arrays.
DTI also offers a RAID Drive Order for NTFS to find the drive order in RAID's
1.Do not run chkdsk. Chkdsk is not a data recovery tool, its sole purpose is to align the file system so that it can be accessible by the operating system. In order to achieve this goal it will delete index data, and reassign data pointers, and destroy raw data. RAIDs are especially susceptible to this utility because of the striping technologies used.
2. Check all connectors on all hardware. Vibrations due to fans, air conditioners, drive warbling, and other outside factors can slowly erode cable connectors.
3. Heat plays a major role in the destruction of hard drives, memory, CPU, and various ICs. Heat will also degrade cabling and fans. Make sure that the room is cool, as well as all case fans are in working order and have the proper RPMs.
4. Dust adds to poor connectivity as well as restricted air flow which will cause damaging heat. Using a can of air clear all vents, fans, bus ports, and casing to make sure that all dust has been removed.
5. Do not move drives around in the enclosure. If the drive order is lost then the recovery becomes exponentially more difficult.
The above are only a general set of steps to take, but still should be addressed before any configuration adjustments are made.
