TheDefinition of RAID
RAID, acronym forRedundant Array of Independent Disks (originally Redundant Array of InexpensiveDisks), is a technology that provides increased storage functions andreliability through redundancy. This is achieved by combining multiple diskdrive components into a logical unit, where data are distributed across thedrives in one of several ways called "RAID levels".
The distributionof data across multiple drives can be managed either by dedicated hardware orby software. A software solution may be part of the operating system, or it maybe part of the firmware and drivers supplied with a hardware RAID controller.
How toCreate a Software RAID array in Windows 7
Step 1: Backupyour information on the disks you want to use in the RAID.
Step 2: Click"Start", and right click "computer" and open "Manage".
Step 3: In the"computer management" Window, click on "Disk Management". Right click the diskyou need to include in your RAID and choose "Delete Volume".
Step 4: All thedisks will be in the pane under the disks which you don't want to include inthe RAID.
Step 5: Rightclick on the first disk you want to include in your RAID and select "New SpannedVolume". (In Windows they don't call their RAID options by the traditional 0,1, 5, 10 etc. Instead they use spanned, striped, and mirrored as the options.)
Step 6: A wizardpops up. Click "Next" and then select the disks you want to include in your newvolume.
Step 7: Assign thenew volume a mount letter or mount point. And name and format it, and thenclick "Next".
How to Recover RAID0 & RAID5 data
When your RAIDdrive begins to demonstrate faulty or unexpected behavior due to system crash,virus attack or power failure/surge, what you need to do is to find a reliableutility to recover RAID0,RAID5 data. RAID Recovery is such a powerful programthat can recover RAID dataincluding RAID 0, RAID 5. With the features of high speed and good quality, itis widely used by thousands of users around the word. Furthermore, it is easyenough for all levels of computer users, even novices.
Step 1: Downloadand install RAID Data Recovery software like Tenorshare Data Recovery on a separate diskfrom your lost data located. (You can get it from:http://www.any-data-recovery.com/product/datarecoveryenterprise.htm )
Step 2: Run thisprogram, and select "RAIDRecovery".
Step 3: Click"Add" to import the disks in your RAID partition. You are available to deletethe loaded disks by ticking the disks and clicking "Remove".
Step 4: You shouldselect the analyzing method to identify the possible RAID in which we lose ourdata.
Smart: It is highly recommended.Specify RAID layout and directly click "Next", and a window with possible RAIDarchitectures appears. Choose the architecture you need to recover and click"OK".
Manual: If you know your stripe and cyde way, try this way. Select RAID layout and enter the informationit requires. And then click "Next" to recoverRAID data.
Smart+Manual: Choose RAID layout andclick "Intelligent Analysis". According to the results of possible RAIDarchitectures, import the information about stripe and cyde way to thefields. Click "Next".
Step 5: Select thefiles by ticking the boxes in front of the file info lines. Click "Recover". Orhit "Other operate"-"Copy files to...", and choose the path for save. In thesetwo ways, you can recover the files currently saved on your corrupted RAIDpartition.Or you can click"Other operate"->"scan the partition with deleted recovery mode". And thenchoose the location for recovered files. In this way, the deleted RAID filescan be recovered.
Step 6: Click "OK"to finish RAIDRecovery.
