RAID Data Recovery

At WeRecoverData.com®, we pride ourselves on our expertise in RAID Data Recovery, which stands as a cornerstone among the comprehensive data recovery services we provide. RAID systems offer significant advantages in terms of data speed and accessibility, ensuring a higher level of data protection compared to non-RAID disk configurations. However, the intricacies of disk management and data distribution across these systems can be quite challenging. (Discover more about RAID)

When choosing the right company to perform RAID data recovery service, consider the following factors:

Avoid companies that require the RAID controller: If a company insists on having the RAID controller, it indicates that they may lack the expertise or advanced knowledge needed to perform successful recoveries without it.
Check for extensive RAID experience: Ensure that the company has a strong background in working with various RAID configurations and handling diverse recovery scenarios.
Assess their technical capabilities: The right company should possess advanced knowledge of file system formats at the sector level and be able to understand HEX/Binary format at the lowest level.
Investigate their success rate: Look for a company with a high success rate in recovering data from RAID arrays, NAS, or complex SAN devices, even those with non-standard, proprietary, or modified file systems.
Read reviews and testimonials: Research customer feedback to gauge the company’s reliability and effectiveness in RAID data recovery.
Evaluate their recovery methods: Ensure that the company employs safe and secure recovery techniques to avoid further damage to your data.
Inquire about their facilities: A reputable data recovery company should have state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to handle various RAID recovery scenarios.
Ask about turnaround time: Choose a company that can provide a swift and efficient recovery process, minimizing downtime for your business.
Confirm data confidentiality: Ensure that the company has strict data privacy policies in place to protect your sensitive information during the recovery process.
Compare pricing and service guarantees: Look for competitive pricing and a clear service guarantee to ensure that you receive the best possible value for your investment in RAID data recovery.

RAID Data Recovery Testimonials

“All our data is fully restored, and we’re back to normal. Thanks so much for saving our business!
We were in the middle of changing our office domain, and our main file server went down, evidently a physically damaged RAID. Then we discovered that the tape backup had not been functioning properly, so we’d lost about 5 months’ work. One of the things the disc contained was a huge database for our major client (The Coca-Cola Company) and it was almost time to deliver it to them. If we couldn’t get our data back we would almost certainly go out of business.
We called the lab and took the server in for data recovery. They worked on it for over a week, and in the end, recovered all the lost data. Needless to say, we have everything double-backed up now. ”

We re-striped/re-initialized the RAID array, formatted the array and copied data back to it. Is there a chance of recovering the data from before the array was re-striped/re-initialized?

It’s still possible to recover the data on these cases. It will depend on the RAID controller’s functionality and how much data was copied to the array. Contact us to determine how we can help you in your RAID data recovery process.

2 drives went down and are not recognized by the system in our RAID 5 system, can you still recover them?

It’s still possible to recover the data on these cases. We will have to create clones of the original drives with our equipment after disassembling the drives in the clean room. Then with the clones, we will rebuild the RAID array using our proprietary procedure. Please send us all drives that were used in the RAID system, we will need all of them to recover the data.

There are a number of different RAID levels:

Standard RAID Level

RAID Level 0

Striped Disk Array without Fault Tolerance: Provides data striping (spreading out blocks of each file across multiple disk drives) without redundancy. This improves performance but does not deliver fault tolerance. If one drive fails then all data in the array is lost.

RAID Level 1

Mirroring and Duplexing: Provides disk mirroring. Level 1 provides twice the read transaction rate of single disks and the same write transaction rate as single disks.

RAID Level 2

Error-Correcting Coding: Not a typical implementation and rarely used, Level 2 stripes data at the bit level rather than the block level.

RAID Level 3

Bit-Interleaved Parity: Provides byte-level striping with a dedicated parity disk. Level 3, which cannot service simultaneous multiple requests, also is rarely used.

RAID Level 4

Dedicated Parity Drive: A commonly used implementation of RAID, Level 4 provides block-level striping (like Level 0) with a parity disk. If a data disk fails, the parity data is used to create a replacement disk. A disadvantage to Level 4 is that the parity disk can create write bottlenecks.

RAID Level 5

Block Interleaved Distributed Parity: Provides data striping at the byte level and also stripe error correction information. This results in excellent performance and good fault tolerance. Level 5 is one of the most popular implementations of RAID.

RAID Level 6

Independent Data Disks with Double Parity: Provides block-level striping with parity data distributed across all disks.

RAID Level 0+1

A Mirror of Stripes: Not one of the original RAID levels, two RAID 0 stripes are created, and a RAID 1 mirror is created over them. Used for both replicating and sharing data among disks.

RAID Level 10

A Stripe of Mirrors: Not one of the original RAID levels, multiple RAID 1 mirror are created, and a RAID 0 stripe is created over these.

RAID Level 7

A trademark of Storage Computer Corporation that adds caching to Levels 3 or 4.

Nested RAID Levels

That configuration provides redundancy and is typically combined with RAID 0 to achieve better read/write performance.

RAID 0+1
RAID 1 + 0
RAID 100 (RAID 1+0+0)
RAID 0+3 and 3+0
RAID 0+3
RAID 30
RAID 50 (RAID 5+0)
RAID 51
RAID 05 (RAID 0+5)
RAID 53
RAID 60 (RAID 6+0)
