How to Recover RAID to Renew Access to Your Crypto-Wallet

Cryptocurrency wallets come in different forms, and of course, they can be saved on different storage drives too, including RAID storage drives. Whether you’ve got Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or any other cryptocurrency stored in a wallet that is located on RAID disks, it is important to have access to a reliable RAID recovery tool when your RAID failed.

Any data saved on RAID arrays are considered as “ordinary files,” including your cryptocurrency data – and as “ordinary data,” they can be lost at any time. If it is a case – there’s a way to save your earnings from a catastrophic scenario. Recover RAID data with professional software. 

How to Recover RAID to Renew Access to Your Crypto-Wallet (BTC, Etherium, etc.)

Hereunder is detailed information on how to protect your crypto assets from varnishing.

First Step:

When you notice an issue with your RAID array – where your crypto assets are saved, the first thing to do is to stop saving new data to the RAID drives. Disconnect the RAID storage, and also disassemble the combined drives. 

Second Step:

Backup the drive(s) – create an image copy of the drive. Use the DiskInternals RAID Recovery program to create the image copy; it is best to create about three (3) different backup copies/images for the drive. 

After you have created the backups, attempt data recovery on one of the backup copies (not on the original drive/disk). Keep the original source different and untouched.

Third Step:

This step is actually dependent on the configuration of your RAID array and the type of crypto wallet you use. 

For encrypted wallets, you may need to treat all the data in the drive/backup as the potential private key you need to recover; therefore, you need to preview the recovered files individually to get the one with the private keys to your crypto wallet.
