RAID recovery services depend on many factors
When it comes to recovering data from raid arrays no, they can be extremely challenging, and very expensive to have data recovered. There are many factors to be considered when choosing a RAID array for your storage environment.
One drive down RAID 0, two drives down RAID 5 or 6, server or NAS down, either way you’ve got a serious problem that needs professional raid data recovery attention.
The best thing to do is shut everything down and avoid manufacturer support (this comes from experience).

Is RAID a good idea?
When it comes to recovering data from raid arrays no, they can be extremely challenging, and very expensive to have data recovered. There are many factors to be considered when choosing a RAID array for your storage environment.
One drive down RAID 0, two drives down RAID 5 or 6, server or NAS down, either way you’ve got a serious problem that needs professional raid data recovery attention.
The best thing to do is shut everything down and avoid manufacturer support (this comes from experience).
Recover data from RAID involving NAS proprietary array configurations
This kind of data recovery can be a slippery slope if it’s not done cautiously, and intelligently. Determining what caused the RAID failure is crucial to ensure successful recovery results.
The most important aspects of determining RAID failure are:
- Understanding how all of the components of the particular type of RAID array or NAS device work together and depend on one another
- Understanding how the failure of each component might affect attempts at repair or reconstruction, and ultimately the success of data recovery
SERT Raid Recovery Service
What does RAID array data recovery have to do with repairing a drive?
Many of the RAID recovery cases we see on a regular basis are caused by failed or failing hard drives. One of the most common cases include a second drive in the array crashing during a rebuild attempt from the first drive that crashed. (This was the situation in the case above. Two drives failed during 3 attempts at rebuilding after a one drive failure. We had to recover the data using only 20 drives.)
Many store bought servers and NAS devices come with drives in them that are identical manufacturer and model, all manufactured in the same lot. They have all been running the same time, in the same device, and so when one fails it’s a pretty good indicator there could be another one not far behind it.
If a drive fails in an array, it may need to be repaired temporarily or the RAID and the data may not be recoverable.
The RAID recovery process
- Disks are diagnosed for failure and repaired if necessary before every sector of the drives in your array are cloned. No other step in the recovery process can be performed until a full bit level copy has been accomplished.
- Parameters are determined and configured to rebuild the array manually including: stripe size, rotation, and offset sector.
- Data is checked for integrity and moved to our secure server for confirmation.
- File list is provided to client for approval
Note: The cloning process of a raid recovery service is done with a hardware bit level imager. Software imagers skip or freeze up on bad sectors which results in an incomplete image and will corrupt the rebuild process.
You can count on SERT to quickly solve the problem of getting your data recovered, and your daily routine back on track. You can expect your experience will be painless, and you will receive an affordable solution unmatched by any other raid array data recovery service provider.

Network and RAID Server Storage Arrays
With technology evolving every day, the flexibility of data storage technology is only going to expand, bringing along the complexity of network and server systems themselves. Within the past few years, we have seen RAID array levels gradually expand from 0 to 51 and beyond, creating an even greater demand for a specialized recovery company that can satisfy all levels of service.
SERT RAID array data recovery labs have the technology, recovery tools, skill, and experience needed to retrieve lost data from all RAID array levels including:
When preparing the disk(s) to send to our RAID array data recovery lab carefully mark each drive by it’s bay as you remove them one by one. Put each disk into an anti-static bag and gently wrap them in bubble wrap to ensure safety during transport. There is no need to send anything else, including your server, cables, or RAID controller.

What Does RAID Data Recovery Entail?
RAID has revolutionized enterprise data storage technology in a big way, building on providing the peace of mind redundancy brings, which can minimize downtime suffered due to failure of individual drives. Unfortunately, RAID is not entirely immune from data loss. The good news is our experts are extremely well versed with RAID recovery situations. With many years of experience our competent team of engineers increase your chances of successfully recovering your lost data.
Data loss risk does not limit itself to the RAID controller; individual drives can and do fail at some point in their lifetime. If this happens, in some RAID configurations, the faulty drive can be swapped with a new one and have the entire data map re-drawn with minimal or no data loss. If the drive malfunction exceeds the redundancy capacity of the RAID array, we will give you the re-assurance you are looking for while we recover your data.
Modern RAID arrays can utilize multiple file systems notably ZFS and BTRFS with HFS or NTFS layered over the top for virtualization. In the event that you lose data from such a system, we can utilize our wealth of experience to assist with your RAID data recovery.
Friendly Terms of Service
The duration needed to recover data from a RAID system can vary significantly depending on the model of the RAID controller, file system type and RAID configuration, ability to locate spare parts if necessary, the extent of the problem, and the overall condition of the disks.
To effectively recover data from a RAID array, it requires a certain level of knowledge and understanding of how storage media and RAIDs work. If you’re the DIY type, remember any changes to the original state of the failure will make it more difficult, and potentially impossible for a trained expert to recover the data.
