Parity Loss and RAID Data Recovery
- by Fun Anku
Parity is the common technique used to detect system memory errors and it holds the similar functionality for RAID. The idea of introducing parity in RAID is to enhance data protection. Parity information is basically redundancy information that is calculated from the actual data values and is stored on a separate disk or across all the participating disks. But you may fall in critical situation of data loss if you lose this parity information. The only solution that allows you to get lost data back in such situations is RAID Data Recovery Service.
Parity is calculated as result of a logical operation, for example XOR or OR. The XOR operator gives true results if any of the operands is true. The truth table thus generated is used for mirroring redundancy technique. If you apply RAID parity, that will cost you high because data is duplicated over drives.
The basic purpose of implementing RAID parity is to prevent data loss due to RAID failure. Thus, RAID Data Recovery from an array that has lost mirrored drive is not a tricky procedure. RAID 3, 5 and 7 implement a technique that is somewhat similar to RAID parity, but doesn't correspond exactly to actual one. RAID parity is also implemented for increasing performance.
But RAID parity can get corrupted due to these reasons:
* System crashes: In such cases, there are fewer chances that parity has been correctly written to the disk. So, you cannot simply depend upon parity to rebuild the missing data. * Uncorrectable bit errors: It causes the participating hard disks of array to bunch of magnetic bits that lose the capability of holding data. You can analyze such errors while reading data back from the disk.
A hard disk may fail due to various reasons including over use and power fluctuations. Such failed disks should be immediately replaced as they could draw negative impacts on system performance or may ultimately damage other disks and hence the array. However, the most suitable cure to extract data from RAID arrays, even while the parity information gets lost, is RAID Data Recovery Service. It is defined as technical aid that data recovery technicians provide using superior tools and technology.
