Have you ever heared a clicking noise from your hard drive? Do you want to know how to diagnose and recover your hard drive from this noise? Recently i found a professional recovery company (DataCent.com) which is good at recoverying data from thses hard drive clicks such as bellows:
Western Digital
1. Western Digital desktop drive with bad heads clunking.
2. Western Digital 500GB desktop drive with bad heads slowly clicks a few times and spins down.
3. Western Digital 250GB desktop drive with head crash clicks a few times, then spins down.
4. Western Digital 250GB desktop drive with stuck spindle can’t spin up, chatters.

Mirrored Cache
A cache memory that has duplicate data from another controller. In the event of failure of the original controller, the second controller can take the cached data and place it on the disk array.
Mirrored Hard Drive
Two hard drives the computer sees as one unit. Information is stored simultaneously on each drive. If one hard disk drive fails, the other contains all of the cached data and the system can continue operating.
Mirroring
The complete duplication of data on one disk drive to another disk drive, this duplication occurs simultaneously with each write operation: each disk will be the mirror image of the other (also known as RAID Level 1, see RAID Levels). All Mylex RAID controllers support mirroring.
MTBF
Mean time between failure. Used to measure computer component average reliability/life expectancy. MTBF is not as well-suited for measuring the reliability of array storage systems as MTDL, MTTR or MTDA (see below) because it does not account for an array’s ability to recover from a drive failure. In addition, enhanced enclosure environments used with arrays to increase uptime can further limit the applicability of MTBF ratings for array solutions.
MTDA
Mean time between data access (or availability). The average time before non-redundant components fail, causing data inaccessibility without loss or corruption.
MTDL
Mean time to data loss. The average time before the failure of an array component causes data to be lost or corrupted.
MTTR
Mean time to repair. The average time required to bring an array storage subsystem back to full fault tolerance.
Member (disk)
A disk that is in use as a member of a disk array.

Latency
1. The time between the making of an I/O request and completion of the request’s execution.
2. Short for rotational latency, the time between the completion of a seek and the instant of arrival of the first block of data to be transferred at the disk’s read/write head.
Logical Drive
The logical devices presented to the operating system. System drives are presented as available disk drives, each with a capacity specified by the Mylex RAID controller. See also Storage Device.

JBOD
Just A Bunch of Disks (Drives), a number of disk drives, usually in an enclosure. JBOD implies that the disks do not use RAID technology and function independently. All Mylex RAID controllers support JBOD mode.

Immediate RAID Availability
See Background Initialization
In-Line Terminator
A plug attached to the end of a SCSI cable in order to initiate active termination. Used when SCSI devices on the cable do not have built-in termination. See also Active Termination.
Interface
A hardware or software protocol that manages the exchange of data between the hard disk drive and the computer. The most common interfaces for small computer systems are ATA (also known as IDE) and SCSI.
Internal RAID Controller
A controller circuit board that resides inside a computer or server. An internal RAID controller resides on a bus, such as the PCI bus.
Examples of internal RAID controllers include the Mylex AcceleRAID and eXtremeRAID families.
