Many individuals and small to medium sized companies now use RAID arrays as part of their everyday storage requirements. To this end there are times when we are called upon to help customers – be they individuals or companies – retrieve data from a RAID device or NAS (Network Assisted Storage) device.
With this kind of technology becoming more affordable it is now the case that many individuals are using it in their home office or simply as a means of storing more information and to this end they can find that if a hard drive within the setup fails they can fail to access important information that might otherwise have been mirrored.
This is certainly the case when it comes to Bit Coin software, which like other software being used across a RAID or NAS setup, can be subject to inaccessibility or corruption should one or (on the very rare occasion) more drives fail.
As with a normal hard drive the data is stored in the same way and the drives within the array work in the same way but if they fail then the data can be corrupt or cannot be accessed upon a rebuild.
With this in mind clients who have been using a RAID or NAS array to store their Bit Coin wallet and have suddenly found that it is no longer valid or visible after a rebuild have contacted us.
With over 15 years experience when it comes to RAID and NAS devices we can help such clients – new and old – recover their data whatever it might be including their Bit Coin wallets and get them back on track again.
We would recommend however that if you are using a device that allows for ‘Hot Swapping' that you seek our advise before you attempt such a device as not all ‘Hot Swapping' allows for the continued storage and retrieval of information in the same way that a RAID device might suffer similar problems after a failed rebuild.
If possible make note of which drive you have saved your Bit Coin data file to as well as to which drive the software is located (some individuals choose to have software on one drive and data on another) and to this end the job of reconstituting the data will be made much easier.
We recommend also that if your RAID or NAS device does fail that you power down immediately so that no further information can be written to it; this will prevent the overwriting of existing data with new that may corrupt the necessary files.
If you are experiencing problems with a RAID device or a controller card that is responsible for sending and receiving information from it then we will be only too happy to help you recover the data as well as rebuild the device should any attempted rebuilds fail.
With this in mind contact our experts via the Contact Us page and they will help guide you through the potential pitfalls and also the ways in which your Bit Coin data can be recovered with the minimum loss of data possible.
