RAID 0 Two-Disk Array Failure in Windows 11 Computer After Power Surge

A client experienced sudden power failures and electrical surges, which caused catastrophic damage to their RAID 0 two-disk array inside a Windows 11 computer. After the surge:

  • Windows 11 no longer recognized the RAID array, making the data completely inaccessible.
  • The RAID 0 configuration was lost, as the RAID controller or motherboard failed.
  • No redundancy in RAID 0, meaning data was heavily fragmented across both drives.

With business and personal files at risk, the client required professional RAID 0 data recovery services to retrieve their lost data.

Our Expertise in RAID 0 & Windows 11 Data Recovery

With 25 years of experience, our team specializes in:
✔ Recovering RAID 0 arrays after power failures and electrical surges
✔ Rebuilding lost RAID configurations and striping patterns
✔ Using forensic data recovery techniques to extract fragmented files

Diagnosis & Recovery Process

Upon receiving the damaged RAID 0 array, our engineers conducted a deep forensic analysis. The key findings included:

  • RAID 0 Stripe Data Was Incomplete – The power surge corrupted the RAID controller metadata, making the system unable to detect the RAID configuration.
  • One Drive Was Slightly Damaged – The power fluctuation caused minor corruption in the sectors of one drive.
  • RAID Controller Failure – The RAID metadata was missing, meaning the system could not reconstruct the array.

To successfully recover the client’s important files, we implemented a multi-step RAID 0 forensic recovery strategy:

Step 1: Drive Imaging & Data Preservation

  • Created sector-by-sector forensic images of both RAID 0 drives to prevent further corruption.
  • Identified and isolated bad sectors to ensure a stable recovery process.

Step 2: RAID 0 Stripe Analysis & Virtual Reconstruction

  • Used specialized RAID forensic tools to analyse stripe size and order.
  • Rebuilt the RAID 0 array in a controlled recovery environment.
  • Simulated the RAID configuration without relying on the damaged controller.

Step 3: File System Recovery & Data Extraction

  • Scanned for missing file fragments and reassembled lost files from RAID stripes.
  • Restored work documents, multimedia files, and Windows 11 system data.

Step 4: Data Integrity Verification & Secure Transfer

  • Conducted full file validation to ensure all recovered data was functional.
  • Successfully transferred all recovered files to a secure external drive for the client.

The Result

We successfully recovered 97.8% of the client’s lost data, including:
✅ Business and work-related documents
✅ Personal photos, videos, and multimedia files
✅ Windows system files required for system restoration

The client was able to rebuild their data environment without permanent loss, ensuring minimal downtime.
