Repairing RAID 0? Here to Fix Failed Raid 0 Array [Updated]

Can RAID 0 be recovered when the drive is corrupted or fails? The answer is Yes. On this page, you'll learn what RAID 0 is, what happens if RAID 0 fails, and how to fix a RAID 0. To restore the lost files, try EaseUS RAID 0 data recovery software.

What Is RAID 0

RAID 0, known as Redundant Arry of Independent Disks Mode 0, is generated on two or multiple drives with the same storage capacity, which stripes data evenly across these disks.

What is RAID 0 used for? As RAID 0 is widely used by Server managers, website owners, IT professionals, and database managers for:

• Server service providing.
• Server Database, store libraries storages.
• Website service serving.
• Generating huge storage pool
• Improves the reading and writing speed on computers.

What is Raid 0 Drive Failure

As we know, RAID 0 is an ideal structure for creating ample storage with high access speeds on Server machines and websites. However, sometimes, the RAID 0 structure is also vulnerable to damage or corruption.

Typically, when one drive in a RAID 0 structure fails, the entire RAID 0 structure fails. What happens if a drive fails in RAID 0 on your computer?

When a hard drive fails, you'll meet the following issues:

• Hard drive failure, dying, or failing hard drives.
• Total data loss on all RAID 0 disks.
• RAID 0 structure broken, RAID 0 drives become logical partitions.
• RAID 0 drives become inaccessible.

Why RAID Recovery Is So Challenging? A single failed drive collapses the entire array. Even if other drives are healthy, your computer sees only meaningless fragments.

Specialized RAID 0 recovery software must:

• Reassemble millions of data fragments in perfect order.
• Fill gaps where the failed drive's pieces are missing (Like solving a puzzle with 30% of pieces destroyed).

When RAID 0 Makes Sense (and When It Doesn't)

• ✅Use it for: Temporary files (rendering projects), speed-critical tasks
• ❌ Avoid it for: Financial records, family photos, operating systems

How to Repair Raid 0 Array Without Data Loss

As mentioned above, it's clear that when a RAID 0 drive fails, all the data will be risky. So can RAID 0 data be recovered? Yes, but you'll need to turn to professional data recovery solutions.

Here we collected 4 methods to help you fix a failed RAID 0 drive and recover data from RAID 0:

1. Method 1. Run RAID Data Recovery Software - Recommended
2. Method 2. Turn to RAID 0 Data Recovery Service
3. Method 3. Connect RIAD 0 Disks to a New Computer and Recover Data
4. Method 4. RAID 0 Reconstruction

Method 1. Run RAID Data Recovery Software

When a RAID 0 drive fails, it'll become inaccessible. As long as Disk Management can detect and recognize the drive, you can turn to a reliable RAID data recovery software for help.

Imagine your broken RAID 0 array is like a thousand-piece puzzle dumped on the floor. Recovery software acts like a detective trying to:

• Identify which pieces belong together - scanning drives for data patterns)
• Rebuild the picture without the box image - recreating file structures)
• Fill gaps with educated guesses - recovering partial files)

Here, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard can scan and find missing files from your RAID 0 drives.

• Recover data from inaccessible RAID drives.
• Recover data from failed RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 drives.
• Recover lost, deleted, or formatted files from RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10 volumes.
• Recover files from virus-infected RAID disks.

Note: To avoid further data loss, remember to save the recovered RAID 0 files to another secure location, such as an external hard drive.

Step 1. Scan the RAID drive

Choose the RAID section from the sidebar, select the RAID 0/1/5/6 drive from which you wish to recover data, and then click "Search for lost data". Wait for the scanning process to finish, the deleted files will show up one by one.

Step 2. Find and preview lost RAID files

You can use "Filter" as quick navigation to find deleted or lost files. Besides, you can also use Search to find your lost RAID drive files via its file name or file extension.

Step 3. Restore lost RAID drive files

Select the wanted files and click "Recover". Browse to save these files to another secure location.

💡Tip: You can restore data on the local disks, external hard drives, and also the cloud storage. Do not save them on the RAID drive again.

Step 2. Connect the RAID 0 drives to another computer.

Step 3. Check if you can access and visit data on the drives.

If yes, copy and save the files to another secure drive.

Method 4. RAID 0 Reconstruction

According to many professionals, it's true that once a RAID 0 drive fails, you can merely rebuild or reconstruct the RAID 0 structure. According to EaseUS Data Recovery experts, there are two ways to fix failing hard drive or rebuild the RAID 0 structure:

Option 1. Clone Failed RAID Drive to A Working One and Rebuild RAID 0

If you are professional in disk management, you can try the below tips to fix the failed RAID 0 drive and rebuild RAID 0 on your own:

Step 1. Prepare a new drive with equal space as the failed RAID 0 drive.

Step 2. Clone the failing hard drive to the new drive.

Step 3. Replace the problematic drive, install the newly cloned disk on your computer.

Step 4. Enter Disk Management, convert the new disk to dynamic, and re-create the RAID 0 configuration with your drives.

Option 2. Take RAID 0 Disks for Repair in the Professional Data Recovery & Repair Center

Another option is to take the RAID 0 drives for repair and reconstruct the RAID 0 structure with your drives in a local professional data recovery and disk repair center.

Step 1. Take your RAID 0 disks to a local repair center.

Step 2. Clone and back up data from the failed or broken RAID 0 drive to another new drive.

Step 3. Rebuild RAID 0 with new disks with professional RAID 0 reconstruction tools.

Or, if you cannot find a local repair center for help, EaseUS local data recovery service as recommended in Method 2 can help.
