Can RAID 5 be recovered?

RAID 5 level is best known for its added security since it applies both striping and parity data distribution techniques. Although RAID 5 configurations have a higher fault tolerance, a drive failure can affect data throughput.
If one disk fails, the data can easily be recovered from the remaining disks by an expert. If you’re concerned about multiple disks breaking down, contact our data recovery advisors for a free evaluation of your RAID 5 array.

RAID 5 diagram showing four disks labeled Disk 0 to Disk 3. Disk 0 contains blocks A1, B1, C1, and Dp. Disk 1 contains blocks A2, B2, Cp, and D1. Disk 2 contains blocks A3, Bp, C2, and D2. Disk 3 contains blocks Ap, B3, C3, and D3. The image illustrates data striping with distributed parity across all disks, highlighting how RAID 5 ensures fault tolerance by spreading parity blocks among the drives.

What to do when a RAID 5 array fails

RAID 5 is known for its built-in redundancy and improved security, but it’s still vulnerable to physical damage, disk failure, and misconfigured rebuilds. If your RAID 5 array is behaving abnormally, follow these steps to reduce the risk of permanent data loss:

Step 1: Assess the Failure

Check the status of your RAID drives using system logs or your RAID controller interface. Determine whether you're facing a single disk failure (which RAID 5 can typically tolerate) or a more serious issue like multiple failed drives or full server failure. If signs point to a critical failure, consider shutting the system down to avoid further data corruption.

Step 2: Pause Unsafe Rebuilds

If the system is rebuilding without proper setup, power it down immediately. A safe rebuild requires that your data is backed up, the array is running in degraded mode with the minimum number of operational disks, and the replacement drives match the original ones in size and capacity. Rebuilding without meeting these conditions can result in irreversible data loss.

Step 3: Contact a Data Recovery Specialist

Speak with a data recovery advisor who can guide you through the safest next steps. Our engineers will evaluate whether recovery should happen remotely, on-site, or in-lab, depending on your specific scenario. A quick consultation can help you avoid costly downtime and ensure your data remains recoverable.
