The main reason for most organizations across the globe for utilizing RAID arrays today is because they offer fault-tolerant level solutions with a relative cost effectiveness of acquisition and maintenance. However, like any other system it is not fail-proof and of course whether it be a small business or a data processing center, lost data means lost business. If a RAID Array fails as a result of component malfunctions (including hard drives and controller cards) or operating and application corruption, it leaves the data unusable and in most cases corrupted.
It is best to seek professional help to recover data from a server as it is critical to fully understand how RAID arrays are configured at hardware, firmware and software levels. Depending on the case complexity these recovery attempts will not only fail, but result in further data corruption. Each year we successfully repair hundreds of RAID arrays each year and have experience of treating with all common systems without voiding your manufacturer’s warranty. Contact us to get the no-obligation advice and take advantage of our No Data, No Charge guarantee for all digital storage systems.
Over the past decade we have experienced RAID cases of various complexity including
- Malfunctioned controllers
- Server registry configuration lost
- Intermittent drive failure resulting in configuration corruption
- Accidental reconfiguration of RAID drives
- Multiple drive failure
- Accidental replacement of media components
- Missing RAID partition
- Loss of RAID disk access after system or application upgrade
- Loss of RAID configuration settings or system registry
- RAID rebuild error or volume reconstruction problem
- Multiple disk failure in off-line state resulting in loss of RAID volume
- Wrong replacement of good disk element belonging to a working raid volume
Safety Comes First
Because of the large number of factors that can influence each case, the exact data recovery process will vary. No two RAID cases are identical, and differences in hardware, firmware and software architecture need to be carefully studied and addressed individually. Without the rigorous protocols in place data can be easily corrupted and even result in permanent data loss. At Data Recovery Labs clone copies are always created first and the subsequent repair of individual drives is performed in the safest manner. Our internal security procedures and world-class team of engineers with expertise with every RAID array type and manufacturer, allowing us to continuously exceed our clients’ expectations.
