How to Restore Data from Striped Drive?

Updated on March 02, 2022

To utilize 100% of the disk space of multiple hard disk drives, experts invented the process of Stripping. Striping refers to the distribution of data sequentially among blocks in hard disk; usually, stripping performs in RAID 0 levels. Employing stripping in the RAID 0 array, one can boost up data access speed and transfer rate in the disk. Stripping allows users to utilize complete disk space, thereby no loss of storage space in the hard drives.

Regrettably, on other hand stripping a drive causes major data loss if the disk gets fails due to any of the reasons. In RAID 0 arrays, malfunctioning of one disk results in loss of entire data stored in the stripped drive, as data is scattered between various disks. Let us discuss some instants that lead to loss of data from the stripped drive:

• Conflicts between installed applications and operating systems in the stripped drive
• Misconfiguration of striped RAID 0 array
• Harmful virus attack in the stripped drive
• Stripped drive crash due to its file system corruption

These listed reasons might cause the data loss from the stripped drive. Including these factors, one may encounter data loss from striped drives due to accidental formatting, shift deleting files, interrupted data transfer process and many others.
