So basically you are only using 3 drives? You should be able to add it to the array and tell it to rebuild.

Question doesn't make sense, RAID 5 with no hot spare means all the drives are online. If one failed it should keep going albeit much slower than usual, RAID 5 can tolerate a single disk failure.

I have 4 drives configured as a Raid5. &nbsp;When it was setup, maybe one drive was not online and I didn't notice it and now a second drive went offline. &nbsp;Now it won't rebuild itselft.

We have 4 hard drives setup as a Raid 5 with no hot spare. &nbsp;One of the drive went bad the other drive was never put online or initialize. &nbsp;Is there any way to recover the data? &nbsp;Is there services that can recover the data?

Raid5 with 4 drives no Hot Spare

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
