Data recovery became the last hope for a small business in Cape Coral, Florida, when their RAID system suddenly failed during a normal workday. The team was busy with data entry when they first noticed something odd—what seemed like a simple network connection issue. But a closer look revealed a more serious problem: one of the Western Digital WD10JPVX drives in their RAID setup showed an amber warning light.
Hoping it was nothing major, they tried restarting the host machine. Unfortunately, the situation got worse. The RAID controller couldn’t detect one of the drives and reported a missing member in the array. Just like that, their VMware virtual machines and all the important business data were out of reach.
They tried duplicating the drives themselves, thinking it might bring the system back online. But it didn’t work. With critical files on the line and operations at a standstill, they reached out to WeRecoverData, the leading data recovery company, for expert help.
The data recovery specialists got to work right away. RAID failures can be tricky, especially when the system is still running and writing new data, which can overwrite old, important files. The team from WeRecoverData carefully examined the failed RAID array and figured out the exact structure of the missing drive. Then, using advanced data recovery techniques, we rebuilt the RAID configuration.
The result? A complete and successful data recovery of the lost virtual machines and business files.
The business was back on its feet, and their files were safe again. This case proves once more that even after a serious RAID failure, professional data recovery can make all the difference.
