Recovering Data from a Failed RAID 5

While RAID 5 protects against downtime and data loss caused by a single failed hard dive in the array, a RAID 5 remains vulnerable to other causes of data, such as virus attacks, accidental deletion, file system corruption, power outages, and user error. Recovering data from a RAID volume—particularly one that is corrupted—is significantly more difficult than recovering data from a single, independent disk.
