Hello everyone! After a long break, today's topic is RAID 5 data recovery! First things first, let's start off with what RAID is. RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a storage system where more than one disk is used. The data is distributed into those disks to prevent data loss in a case where one or more disks malfunction depending on which RAID level is used. There are different RAID levels from RAID 0 to RAID 6 (and RAID 10), each with different attributes.
Today, I will be specifically talking about RAID 5 since it's the most popularly used, (although being replaced slowly by RAID 6) and the safest RAID level.
