Redundant Array of Independent (originally Inexpensive) Disks (RAID) is a term used for computer data storage systems that spread and/or replicate data across multiple drives. RAID technology has revolutionized enterprise data storage and was designed with two key goals: increase data reliability and increase I/O (input/output) performance.

Even modern servers and storage systems are running RAID technology - mostly in enterprises, but it has become more prevalent in consumer NAS systems as well. RAID has survived for more than 30 years, and it still plays a major role in data storage to this day. Why is that? Glad you asked.

Even though the different RAID-levels have certain protection mechanisms against data loss due to physical failure of one or more hard disks, the technology is not bullet proof. Therefore, it’s wise to prepare yourself against data loss when using a RAID array and at least consider the following tips.

In part 1 of this article, we explained the basic idea of RAID, as well as the most commonly used terms when talking about this type of storage. In this second part, we’ll take a look at what RAID levels are and explore how some of the traditional level configurations work. We’ll also find out what challenges RAID storage can bring if data recovery services are required. Let’s take a look!

This is a follow up to the original article on RAID vs. Drive Rebuilds. Several questions came up about RAID and drive rebuilds and preventing data loss since the original posting, and Part 2 will attempt to address those questions.

What happens when a RAID rebuild goes wrong and what can be done to prevent that from happening to you? To answer the question, you need to understand how data is written to a RAID array and what happens when a drive fails and a rebuild is started. I am going to use a Windows NTFS volume and a 4 drive RAID 5 array as the example system.
