Redundant array of independent disk or RAID can give a bunch of benefits while storing or transferring data with its disk redundancy feature that never lets the work stop by enabling fault tolerance when a Raid disk fails. But there are many reasons due to which failed RAID can lose your valuable data in spite of fault tolerance.

Though, data recovery is possible and only RAID data recovery specialists should be involved in the process because the RAID recovery might be more than complex. One of the reasons for RAID failure can be due to its controller failure.

By detecting the possible controller failure symptoms, you can reach out for data recovery solutions at the earliest and reduce the data loss chances in your RAID.

How does RAID failure occur due to a controller failure?

We can set up a RAID with a software or by using a hardware component, known as the RAID controller. Regardless of the fault tolerance, a raid system can fail due to disk problems, during a rebuild or due to controller failure. This could put your terabyte data at a big risk as the PC might not detect the RAID and data render inaccessible.

How to resolve the RAID Controller Failure problem ?

You might need a new RAID controller to replace it with the failed controller to continue the RAID system operations and get access to your data. Replacing the new controller could be a hefty task as it is complex. The new controller may refuse to work with original disks or the PC might not detect the new controller, in this case, replacing the controller may initiate RAID rebuild and you tend to lose your stored data.

Most likely the correct way to recover the controller may be:

1. Using a data recovery software to recover RAID array configuration

2. Using data backup when the RAID failure occurs.

2. Replace controller with a new one.

Configure a new RAID array and store data from the backup.

These all options can be counted as DIY but if your data is valuable, then you should drop the idea of recovering your RAID with DIY data recovery as they are complex and one wrong step can lead to permanent data loss.

Solution: the best way to recover the RAID from controller failure is to connect to a RAID data recovery specialist because they’re skilled and have availability of all the tools and technology that are required to recover the RAID controller.

Conclusion

Raid controller failure can be a sensitive case that could result in permanent data loss if anything goes wrong in between DIY data recovery. Like all data storage devices, RAID can undergo failures and damages, that’s why it is best to be prepared with a backup data to access your precious data even when the RAID fails. The best choice is to deliver your failed RAID system to a data recovery service to get the most suitable and appropriate solutions.
