Data Recovery from External Hard Drive

It is time to call a pro if unreadable errors pop up and Mac hard drive recovery is needed

Raid 5 systems can fail, no matter how much the manufacturers try to anticipate problems with any Raid system. You may eventually need Raid 5 data recovery because Raid systems fail for a number of reasons. Dust infiltrating a Raid system may cause scratches on the system’s ability to read disks. Raid arrays can fail after technicians accidently forget to add a line of text that tells Raid 5 array systems where to look to find specific bits of information.

Why call a pro to handle Raid 5 data recovery options? Businesses may have a greater opportunity to restore data lost from hard drive failures. Is it a good idea to keep data on an external drive as a back-up? You might not be able to do data recovery from an external hard drive if the magnetic heads on the hard drive are failing.

Why Raid 5 systems don’t fail as much as reported

Some Raid users may paint a bleak picture of what may happen if you are using Raid 5 and may urge Raid users using 5 to keep important data on another hard drive as a backup. However, some Raid 5 users may not need to rely on this Mac hard drive recovery as much as predicted. This is because some writers count soft read errors into the reasons why businesses should switch Raid systems and keep files on an external hard drive, as well. The truth is that any Raid system can fail, no matter how prepared an IT professional is.

Counting soft error rates can be dangerous because they aren’t a true representation of the number of times a Raid system does fail. Most Raid 5 or any Raid system has an Error Correcting Code that is in the hard drives. The likelihood of not recovering because a few bits of information are unreadable is very small.

Failing drive isn’t likely to doom Raid system or cause huge data Losses

Did you know that the more drives you have connected to a Raid array, in theory, boost the chances that you will be able to recovery from a Raid 5 drive failure? A single failing drive more than likely will not cause your Raid 5 system to stop operating, though it may lower a company’s defences on a Raid system until all drives are operating properly. It also does not necessarily mean you need Mac hard drive recovery or should panic that you need data recovery.

How Bristol Data Recovery Can Retrieve Data from HP P4000 & P4500?

At Bristol Data Recovery our engineers have developed a process by which the information that once would have been considered unrecoverable on the ‘nodes’ of the P4000 and P4500 storage servers can now be retrieved and recovered to other media.

This is something that Hewlett Packard, as an entity, has previously said was impossible to do and have stated quiet categorically that these devices are non-recoverable. Our engineers here at Bristol Data Recovery are proud to be able to say that in this instance we have taken the manufacturer’s words and turned them on their head.

The P4000 and P4500 SANs (Storage Area Networks) were designed by HP and released into the marketplace during 2008 and since then have been used in many large enterprises and organisations who require access to huge amounts of information at a less than a moment’s notice. These SANs (Storage Area Networks) work on a principle not dissimilar to RAID (Redundant Array of Independent/Inexpensive Disks) in how they store information but very different in how they access it. SANs work on the method of combining a series of storage ‘Nodes’ rather than operating a series of hard drives that function under the auspices of a controller card. These ‘Nodes’ are usually iSCSI.

At Bristol Data Recovery our engineers have been called upon to help clients who have had difficulty with said ‘Nodes’ and have been told by the manufacturer that the data on them has been effectively lost because there is no way of recovering it.

Our team of engineers have developed a process whereby the drives can effectively be reverse engineered using computer forensic techniques that allow us to access the ‘Nodes’ themselves without having to have the whole rack-mounted setup or case-encased system delivered to our data recovery centre. We simply require the ‘Nodes’ (drives if you like?) which we can then work from to create a reversely engineered image that allows us to recover your data and reconstitute it to a new media of your choice.

A common problem we have encountered is the corruption of what is known as LUN (Logical Unit Number) which can be either a subsection of a physical drive or the entire drive depending on how it has been setup initially. If problems occur with the LUN then it may be the drive (if used in its entirety) is no longer accessible because the array will not recognise it; thus leaving you unable to access the data on said drive. This is where the manufacturers of the P4000 and P4500 have stated that the drive is no longer usable and/or recoverable and has left many organisations and businesses struggling to reconstitute information from other sources such as old hard copy etc.

If you have suffered problems with either your P4000 or P4500 series Left-hand SAN then all hope is not lost. Our engineers here at Bristol Data Recovery are available to speak to Monday-Friday 9am to 6pm and are on hand to answer your queries regarding the reasons why your SAN setup has failed and how we can help recover the information from a setup that its own creators have deemed is impossible to do.

 Whilst we hope you never encounter such problems we are here to help and can offer you a variety of recovery such as formatted hard drive recovery, external hard disk recovery, laptop hard disk recovery and many more options depending on your budget and timescale for recovery.

Too big to ignore: Why UK businesses suffer higher data losses than before

On the surface, the 21 percent of UK businesses reporting data loss doesn’t seem like a bad number. However, it is quite likely that 21 percent actually was unreported and less than the national average? It is happening in the UK, as many businesses suffer a data loss and do not even bother to report it. Many business owners may not be aware of the data loss until months later. Could hackers and viruses running undetected affect daily operations, sensitive data, and make up for reporting losses?

While 45 percent of UK businesses admitted to having more downtime than planned, numbers may not accurately reflect why data loss is a bigger problem for UK businesses than previously thought. What can UK businesses do to curb the amount of mac hard disk recovery data lost and lessen the monetary blow below the current rate?

Update software and apply patches more freely

What are the best practices UK businesses can follow and keep from losing data?

Don’t leave a hole in the Network. Some senior IT analysts may work overtime protecting a company’s valuable trade secrets and network of computers. However, they may be so busy they neglect to download and install patches and new versions of software when they are available. Outdated software means companies are more open attacks.

Time for training. Did you know many IT professionals have a general lack of confidence in many UK organisations? They do not think the organisations can meet critical IT requirements needed to build better security measures, availability recovery and backup systems of support. hdd data recovery uk Training may better help IT management and company employees to connect and better understand the UK’s new data regulations.

Be vigilant.  Hackers can easily inject a computer without too many signs. UK businesses may best protect themselves by being ready to disarm and send a hacker elsewhere with the updates helps keep a company server safe from viruses and data loss.
