Safe RAID 6 recovery after critical data loss
Recovering RAID 6 is a delicate job that requires the best professionals to handle the best and newest technologies for data recovery in RAID System on the market, with the goal of resuming the Servers and Storages affected by data loss.
About RAID 6
The RAID 6 system is an evolution of RAID 5. The main difference is that instead of using only one disk for redundancy, 2 disks are used.
In other words, in this system, even if two disks are physically damaged at the same time, the system will still continue working. But the available space will be the total of disks minus 2.
So if you set up a RAID 6 with 7 disks, the space you have available will be the total equivalent of 5 disks.
What happens if one drive fails in RAID 6?
RAID 6 is used in extreme security situations, because unlike the RAID 5 system which allows only one disk to fail, two disks can have problems without the system stopping.
In other words, RAID 6 offers the same performance as RAID 5, but with greater security. Because, when creating RAID 6, the available space will be the sum of the number of disks minus 2, because the system will use the space on two disks for storage and parity control.

Answers from our experts
What are the main causes of data loss in RAID 6?
There are three main causes, which are: configuration problem, logic problem, and physical problem.
Configuration problems:
- Array data loss
- Deletion or change of RAID controller settings
- Array volumes deleted or changed
- Loss of the disks’ sequential order
Logic problems:
- Deleting or Corrupting Data on Partitions
- Formatting drives or partitions
- Overwriting information
- Formatting followed by system reinstallation
- System booting problems
- Data desynchronization from one hard drive to another
Physical problems:
- RAID controller burn-in or problems
- Burnout of electronic circuits
- Burn in read heads
- Read head breakage
- Damage to the disk surface (HDD platters)
- Bad Blocks
- Natural Media Wear
- Surface scratches and scuffs
- Serious scratches and scuffs
- Motor bearing seizure
- Motor burn-out
- Dropped or impacted problems
- Servo Mechanism area related problems
- Firmware problems
- Water or other liquid problems
Will replacing the RAID controller bring my data back?
RAID 6 is designed to be the evolution of the predecessor RAID levels, increasing security and performance, but it is still not immune to failure. Let’s look at the positives and negatives of this RAID level.
Positive points – Fault tolerance of 2 disks at the same time; performant read time.
Negatives – 50% reduced storage level; Performance problem if a disk fails.
Can I preselect the most critical files to be recovered first?
Yes, in many situations it is possible to recover data from a RAID server or storage remotely. For more information about this recovery modality, please contact us through our support channels, which are available 24x7x365.

What you need to know
How long does RAID 6 recovery take?
We fully understand the disruption and losses that downtime in a RAID server or RAID storage system can cause to your business. With this in mind, we have created a department that operates 24 hours a day, fully dedicated to assisting clients who have an urgent need to recover RAID 6.
As soon as the disks from a RAID server or RAID storage system arrive at our laboratory, the advanced diagnostic process begins immediately. The advanced diagnostic process usually takes between 4h and 8h. Once it has been completed, the client will be informed about the possibilities of RAID 6 recovery, the costs involved, as well as the estimated time for recovery.
The average time for data recovery from RAID 6 servers and storage systems at Digital Recovery is approximately 36h. However, in some cases, projects have already been solved in less than 12h. Depending on the complexity of the problem and the type of solution to be adopted, the data recovery time may extend over a few days. However, at all times, a specialist will remain in contact with the client’s point of contact in order to report in detail all actions carried out.
What is the available space on a server or storage system configured in RAID 5?
Regardless of the number of disks that will be allocated to the array, the system will use the space equivalent to one disk for parity. In other words, to calculate the usable space, simply multiply the capacity of the disks by the number of disks minus one.
Example | Considering 5 disks of 3 TB each, totaling 15 TB of raw space.
By subtracting one disk, we have a total of 4 disks of 3 TB, that is, 3 TB x 4 = 12 TB.
What should I do if I no longer have access to the data on my RAID 6?
A primeira ação a ser feita é entrar em contato com o fabricante ou suporte técnico do seu servidor ou storage. Eles irão direcionar o diagnóstico da melhor forma possível, pois através dos logs coletados, será possível criar um plano de ação coerente e assertivo.
Caso não seja possível o restabelecimento do ambiente tanto via fabricante quanto via restore do backup mais atualizado, nós podemos ajudá-los a resolver esse desafio da melhor forma possível.
How much does RAID 6 data recovery service cost?
Due to the various factors involved in a RAID 6 recovery project, it is not possible to determine the final cost without carrying out a detailed assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to determine:
- Level of complexity and urgency
- Real possibility of recovery
- Time required to perform the service
To request an assessment, please contact us through our support channels, which are available 24x7x365.
Is RAID 6 recovery possible remotely?
Yes. In many situations, it is possible to recover data from a RAID server or storage system remotely. For more information about this recovery method, please contact us through our support channels, which are available 24x7x365.
Is it possible to recover an environment containing LVM?
LVM (Logical Volume Manager) can be fully recovered, as it is an option for managing the logical volumes of an HD or RAID in Linux/Unix operating environments.
If I recreate the array with the previous settings, will my RAID work as it did before?
In some cases, yes. Especially when the environment has only a few disks and the exact array settings are known.
However, when dealing with storage systems containing numerous HDs, running multiple volumes, using different RAID configurations and also including Hot Spare disks, even if all of this is documented, recreating the array and getting it to work again will not be an easy task.
In the case of Virtualized RAIDs or vRAID, even if all the settings are documented, the only way to restore the array is by reading the configurations contained on the disks (DAC Store).
Why is it important to monitor the health of the disks in an array?
As we know that a disk failure can drastically impact both the availability and integrity of a company’s strategic data, 24×7 monitoring of disk health is extremely important, as it allows a suspected disk to be replaced before it actually fails.
The RAID controller’s own management software can be used for this type of predictive monitoring.
