RAID 6 Failure
Nowadays, many companies, self-employed individuals, and creative hobbyists with terabytes of data (e.g., multimedia files) use RAID 6 systems. Active usage of RAID 6 in businesses and advanced home computing makes it necessary for data recovery services, putting our Certified ISO Class 10 Cleanroom and industry-certified technicians to work.
We repaired thousands of RAID 6 failed drives recovered over the past few years. Thus, our engineers are experienced enough to recover a device from any data loss scenario in the shortest timeframe possible.

RAID 6 Disk Failure Compared
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) 6 arrays use parity technology as in RAID 5 arrays. They are a little more advanced and mature in their development.
Besides, they are safer and more reliable. RAID 6 arrays are at least as powerful, if not more so, than their little sibling. RAID 6 arrays utilize “parity” disk organization, just like RAID 5 arrays.
However, RAID 6 is the next generation of technology. It has a “dual parity” feature that spreads data across 4 to 32 drives instead of sixteen. By adding a second “parity data” block in each disk, RAID 6 achieves a level of fault tolerance not matched by its younger counterpart.
The annual failure rate of a RAID 6 system is arguably lower than, let’s say, a RAID 0 setup. Thus, while functioning similarly to a RAID 5 array, RAID 6 brings a level of fault tolerance that the other one cannot match. As a result, RAID 6 systems ensure no data gets lost after a catastrophic failure. While some feel RAID 5 has enough safeguards for data loss, those who want to be extra careful go with the “dual parity” RAID 6 array.
We would rank RAID 6 arrays somewhere between RAID 5 and RAID 10 (1+0) in terms of balancing cost, data safety, and efficiency. It is safer than RAID 5 but more expensive. Also, it is less potent than RAID 10 but arguably just as fault-tolerant.
For smaller businesses with modestly-sized configurations, many can afford it opt for RAID 6 or RAID 5. If the setup reaches a larger size, we may start advocating for a RAID 10 array.
Regardless of fault tolerance and performance, RAID 6 is the more secure, less speedy version of RAID 5.
Causes of Failures in RAID 6 Arrays
While more expensive and potentially slower, RAID 6 arrays are considered the superior RAID level to RAID 5 systems. However, like with all machines, there is an inherent failure rate that comes with mass production. Thus, we have recovered even RAID 6 arrays crash from logical disk failures.
Our engineers are experienced in performing RAID 6 data recovery by rebuilding the entire array. However, unforeseen physical damage is usually the main concern with a RAID 6 array. We recommend doing regular health checks and setting up alarms to receive notifications about failures. This way, when one drive in your RAID 6 array fails, you will notice the slightly hampered performance and warning signs.
Note: if you experienced RAID 6 failure, you can contact our customer service to apply for an evaluation. Additionally, after we recover your lost data, we will provide you with a backup plan. This way, we ensure that you never face such an issue anymore.
Again, just because RAID 6 has excellent fault tolerance does not mean you should use it as your backup disk.
Risk-Free Device Evaluation
We offer technical assessment and overnight shipping services for failed RAID 6 arrays, as we do with all storage devices.
Additionally, we offer consultations after we recover lost data. This feature is convenient for companies struggling with which RAID array to use (and how to back it up).
There we discuss how to set up a backup system for your company data expertly and copy critical data to external hard drives. Besides this, we will make sure that the backup meets data safety protocols that do not interfere with your day-to-day operations.
Emergency RAID 6 Recovery Services
If your case is extremely time-sensitive and you need access to lost data immediately, we can recover your device in 8-48 hours. We offer emergency services for businesses that cannot wait for a long time to get the data back. Contact us at (888) 611 0737 or fill in the request form, and we will respond as quickly as possible!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a RAID 6 and how does it differ from RAID 5?
RAID 6 is a data storage technology that combines disk striping with double parity, providing fault tolerance and high performance. In comparison to RAID 5, RAID 6 uses an additional parity block, which allows it to withstand the failure of up to two drives, offering increased fault tolerance.
How does RAID 6 fault tolerance work to protect my data?
RAID 6 fault tolerance is achieved through the use of double parity, with data and parity blocks distributed across all drives in the array. This allows the system to continue functioning even if two drives fail simultaneously, ensuring data integrity and availability.
How can I use a RAID 6 calculator to estimate my storage capacity and performance?
A RAID 6 calculator can help you determine the total storage capacity, usable space, and performance of your RAID 6 configuration. By inputting the number of drives and their individual capacities, the calculator will provide an estimate of the storage space, accounting for the double parity used in RAID 6.
What factors should I consider when setting up a RAID 6 configuration?
When configuring a RAID 6 array, consider factors such as the number of drives, their capacity, and the type of data you will be storing. Keep in mind that RAID 6 requires a minimum of four drives and will have a higher overhead due to the double parity. Additionally, ensure your hardware and software support RAID 6, and consult a professional if needed.
How does RAID 6 compare to RAID 5 in terms of performance, fault tolerance, and storage capacity?
RAID 6 offers better fault tolerance compared to RAID 5, as it can withstand the failure of two drives, while RAID 5 can only tolerate one drive failure. However, RAID 6 has a higher overhead due to the additional parity block, which may slightly impact write performance and reduce the overall usable storage capacity compared to RAID 5.
