RAID Is great until it breaks. Once it breaks you restore from backups, because the data is gone. Redundant RAID systems like 1 and 5 are fine, until you don't repair the volume before you lose a critical number of drives, but once you go critical your only option is to restore from back up. There are drive recovery services but you are looking at 10's of thousands of dollars.

  3. Yes NASA had this same problem with the O-Rings and killed seven astronauts !  One million (1,000,000) hours MTBF is one million hours divided by ten drives and equals a big OOPs after about one hundred thousand  (100,000) hours !  And some videos say Hardware RAID Card with battery back up.  And do not forget the UPS so you can shut down gracefully ! ! !  Are you Paranoid enough ?  And back up off site and maybe the cloud (then every one can try to hack your data)  And NO the NSA will not admit to having a copy of your data !  "By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail"-Benjamin Franklin.

  4. This is absolutely not true! RAID 0 can be recovered because I have just when I thought there's no hope. Now of course that always not true in the case where the hard drive is completely, mechanically damaged. On one hand this video was uploaded in 2011 and I honestly don't know when the program I used was released. If you are in need to recover RAID 0, I'd highly recommend trying RAID Recovery & GetNTFS by Runtime. I hope this helps you with your issue.
  5. RAID 0 in my opinion doesn't count as RAID, because there is no redundancy.
