Top Six Causes of Failure in Raid 0

by Techchef Data Recovery Techchef Data Recovery

Multiple businesses and individuals choose raid for its expanding storage feature and fault tolerance.

Unfortunately, Raid 0 lacks the fault tolerance feature and uses a stripping method to store data in the member disks in the array. Thus Raid 0 is susceptible to failure but does not have redundancy.

So if one member disk in the array fails, it will destroy the entire Raid array. A successful Raid 0 data recovery can be achieved once you know the common causes of Raid 0 failure.

Here we share the top six causes of Raid 0 failures and their effective solutions.

1. Head crash in drive

Damaged hard disks in the array will result in Raid 0 data loss which drives data loss in the Raid 0 system.

One of the reasons for a damaged hard drive can be a severe head crash. Resort to a Raid data recovery specialist in such sensitive raid failure cases.

2. Virus or malware attack

One of the most common reasons for failure in a Raid system is a virus or malware attack.

Your unprotected files or partitions can get infected by unwanted viruses resulting in a raid system failure.

Scan your files with an antivirus to prevent malware from infiltrating the system.

3. Hard drive failure

When one of the member disks fails, it leads to the entire raid system failure. Hard drives can be susceptible to factors like corrupted firmware, system crash, file system failure, power failure and more. Under such conditions, try Windows inbuilt tools to repair the hard drive issues.

4. Damaged partition

If any interruption occurs during the Raid partition or if you fail to create a raid partition, you would see all partitions get corrupted. The only solution to such a situation is Raid rebuild.

5. Controller failure in Raid 0

The controller in a Raid system performs a vital role in managing all the member disks in the raid array.

Once the controller fails, you can not access the drives again. For this, you would need to replace the failed controller with a spare controller.

6. Bad sectors

Bad sectors that accumulate in the drive will lead to hard drive failure and eventually raid failure. Prevent them with reliable tools or resort to raid recovery professions.

Conclusion

These six causes and their corresponding solutions can prevent you from Raid 0 failure. Also, updating raid data backup would let you recover raid 0 data efficiently.
