RAID 5 is a Much Safer Storage Location for Your Data Than a Single Hard Drive

If you are familiar with the reasons behind the widespread use of RAID 5 then you will understand that they are composed of a minimum of three individual hard drives, any one of which may fail completely without the loss of any user data whatsoever. This implies that in order to lose all access to your data two of the hard drives in the array must go down. If you are monumentally unlucky and this happens to you then of course you will need the help of professional RAID data recovery services.

On the face of it this sounds extremely unlikely ever to happen and yet it does, this is not to undermine just how valuable a RAID 5 is. The chances of you suffering a loss of vital data due to hardware failure if your data is stored in a RAID 5 is much much less than would be the case if that same data were stored on a single hard drive.
