labist Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Dear allMy question is that if i configure Raid 5 with 3 hard drives and if 2 of them failswill it be possible to recover data Thanks.
Guest Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) No. You want RAID 6 if you need to be able to recover from two simultaneous drive failures. Edited March 2, 2012 by 5eraph
allen2 Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 If you only want to recover data, it might still be possible if the failed drives aren't too damaged. But recovery will most likely need a lot of time and a specialist.In every raid 5, you can only have one failed drive if you want it to continue to operate.There are many other raid level/solution to allow more than one failed drive. Among them, there is the hot spare drive, raid 6, raid 10 .....
