RAID 1 is a data storage technology that creates an exact copy or mirror of data onto several hard drives. RAID 1 guarantees redundancy and enhanced reliability if one of the drives fails. Nonetheless, despite this level of protection, there may still be occasions where RAID 1 data recovery is required. Our team of specialists in the UK is well-equipped and adept at recovering data from RAID 1 systems.

Can RAID 1 Data be Recovered?

RAID 1 data can be successfully recovered, thanks to the mirroring feature inherent in RAID 1 configurations. Since data is duplicated across two or more disks, failure in one disk does not mean data loss, as an identical copy exists on the other disk(s).

Our team utilises specialised software and techniques to access, diagnose, and recover data from the disks in RAID 1 arrays. However, the extent of the damage to the failed drive and the timely initiation of the recovery process can influence its success. Therefore, seeking professional help promptly is crucial to maximise the chances of full data recovery.

RAID 1 Failure

While RAID 1 is a fault tolerant system, there are still potential causes of data loss that can necessitate RAID 1 data recovery services. Some common reasons include physical damage to the hard drives due to power surges or mechanical failures, accidental deletion or formatting of the drives, and software or operating system errors.

Additionally, human error or intentional acts of sabotage can also result in data loss in RAID 1 systems. Our experts have the necessary skills and tools to manage all these scenarios, ensuring a successful recovery of your important data.

Common Causes of RAID 1 Data Loss

Controller Malfunction

RAID controller failure can result in data loss or corruption, impacting RAID array management.

Missing Partition

Partition information loss or corruption can make data inaccessible, even if the physical drives are intact.

Hard Drive Failures

While RAID 1 can tolerate a single drive failure, simultaneous failures can result in data loss.

Accidental Reconfiguration

Mistakenly reconfiguring a RAID array can lead to data loss or corruption, especially if not done properly.

Malware

Malware can corrupt or encrypt data, rendering it inaccessible.

Accidental File Deletion

User errors such as accidental data deletion or disk formatting can lead to data loss.

Overheating

Excessive heat can harm RAID setup components, possibly causing failure.

Power Surge

Sudden power surges can damage the drives or the RAID controller, leading to potential data loss.

Furthermore, using RAID 1 with one drive after the second one fails allows your system to keep running, but it’s a temporary and risky state. RAID 1 mirrors data across two drives for redundancy, so if one drive fails, data is still accessible from the other drive, preserving data and system functionality. However, this mode isn’t a long-term fix. The main issue with a single-drive RAID 1 setup is the lack of redundancy.

If the remaining drive fails before you replace the failed one, all data is lost. This defeats the purpose of RAID 1. Operating in a degraded state strains the remaining drive, potentially shortening its lifespan. Replacing the failed disk and rebuilding the RAID 1 array to full redundancy as soon as possible is essential. Our team can assist you in this process and ensure your data is fully recovered without any further risks.

I believe this is the only company in the UK that has its own data recovery lab and doesn't send customers' devices elsewhere. I have been searching for such a company for a while, as it's hard for me ... to trust anyone after previous unsuccessful data recovery attempts. Besides having their own lab, PITS definitely boasts amazing customer service. They handled my complicated data loss situation with great efficiency, recovering every piece of lost data. During the final step, which I believe was called the verification session, we had the opportunity to check the recovered data and give our approval. It was a huge relief. Cheers for the brilliant service and the data recovery!

There are loads of computer repair shops near me, but none could properly recover my data. I carted my 64GB USB flash drive to more than four shops, and after waiting for over a month, the best result ... was a mere 20% of my data pieced together from all their efforts. That's why I was chuffed to bits when I found PITS Global Data Recovery Services. They don't ship devices off elsewhere but do the data recovery in their own facility. I reckoned it'd take as long as the previous places, but I was wrong—I had all my files back within a week, with a completely successful data recovery. What a relief to finally find genuine professionals who are experts in their field!
