X-Serve – RAID configuration lost

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a technology that provided the capacities to store high volume of data at low cost and less reliable PC class disk drive components by using the technique of arranging the devices into arrays of redundancy. Apple used this technology in their new product and made a mass-storage device named as X-Serve RAID. It is held up to 14 hot swappable Ultra-ATA hard drives and had the capacity of 10.5 TB when filled with the 750 GB modules. It is configured for most RAID levels. Design wise it is rack-mountable and 3U high.

X-Serve RAID uses two identical RAID Controller chipsets to manage the hard disks. These controllers were independent but not redundant and each manages seven of the storage array\'s fourteen drives. Features of X-Serve RAID are simply unmatched. The latest one includes Xeon “Nehalem” quad core processors, hyper threading, integrated memory installer, increased per watt performance, faster per clock, more I/O bandwidth, built in graphics and turbo boost technology. The RAID Configuration and implementation is a complex and difficult task to accomplish and must have to perform before the usage of the X-Serve System. The X-Serve takes in between 18 to 24 hours to create the RAID Configuration.

Due to any mishap or accident, if the X-Serve RAID Configuration lost then you are at the stage of losing very large amount of data that will suddenly give you a big shock. People do these steps:

  • Shutdown the array
  • Remove the power cables and batteries
  • Reconnect them
  • Power up

This way all the cache will be flushed and sometimes it works too. If not then people call Apple Care or email them. If you had taken the backup of your files then there is the chance to save the files. Firmwares are also used to solve these problems. But no one gives you perfect and satisfying results. To recover the data after the problem of X-Serve Configuration lost , is used. It is made to rescue the data from all kind of data loss cases like X-Serve Configuration Lost problems. It is available free as trials so free download now and recover back all the data.
