RAID Recovery
RAID arrays are built for uptime, not for data recovery — when a rebuild goes wrong, a second disk fails during a rebuild, or a controller corrupts the array configuration, standard tools cannot help.
Understanding the Problem
RAID arrays are built for uptime, not for data recovery — when a rebuild goes wrong, a second disk fails during a rebuild, or a controller corrupts the array configuration, standard tools cannot help.
We reconstruct RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and nested/proprietary NAS array configurations (Synology, QNAP, Drobo and others) by imaging every member disk individually, then virtually rebuilding the array's parity and stripe order in software before extracting files.
Because multiple physical drives are usually involved, RAID cases often combine mechanical hard disk recovery with logical array reconstruction — our engineers handle both under one roof.
Common Failure Symptoms
- Array shows as "degraded," "failed," or "offline" in the controller UI
- One or more member disks clicking, grinding, or not spinning up
- NAS or server becomes unreachable after a power outage or rebuild attempt
- Volume mounts but files and folders appear missing or corrupted
- Controller reports inconsistent RAID configuration after a firmware update
- Accidental deletion or reinitialization of the array during maintenance
Our Recovery Process
A disciplined, four-stage workflow protects your data at every step — from intake to secure return.
Diagnosis
We inspect the device, identify the failure type (mechanical, logical, firmware, or physical) and give you a transparent quote before any work begins.
Evaluation
Our engineers run a deeper imaging and diagnostic pass in a controlled environment to map exactly what is recoverable and what approach is safest.
Recovery
Using cleanroom hardware, donor parts, and tools like PC-3000, we image the media sector-by-sector and reconstruct your file system and files.
Return
Recovered data is verified, indexed, and delivered on encrypted media or secure transfer — with your original device returned or securely disposed of.
