Repairing Your RAID

Need immediate help? Click here to request a quote on our 24 hour turnaround RAID data recovery service.

Repairing a RAID system works one of two ways: it can be very simple, with very little stress and immediate results, or it can be difficult, stressful and cause catastrophic data loss. When faced with that choice, what do you feel comfortable with? Taking your RAID repair request to a professional data recovery services company with over 20 years of hands on hard drive recovery experience? Or "giving it a shot" and rolling the dice on a DIY RAID repair? The choice is yours, but the importance of the data should be your critical factor.

Using a RAID 0 to speed up your Half-Life game play? Self recovery is probably not your worst option. After all, if your personal data is lost because of a failed RAID hard drive, you probably have only lost the cost of the drive. While we never recommend DIY RAID repair, users with a limited or no budget can always consult the Internet for a myriad of potential solutions.

Running an MS Exchange Server on a RAID 10 that serves 200 users? Your case for not calling a professional RAID repair service has suddenly become far less logical. Time is money, and whether your business data is located on a RAID file server, web or application server or a NAS or SAN appliance, it is far too critical to trust to anyone but an experienced RAID data recovery shop like Hard Drive Recovery Group.

Tips For An Effective Raid Repair

There are several points to look at when you feel you may need a professional RAID repair. Some are simpler than others, but we've seen them all. Ensure you have tried these avenues before you commit to any RAID data recovery service:

No Chkdsk - Using CHKDSK in an attempt to recover data from a RAID system from RAID 0-1-2-5-10 or higher, is never a good idea. CHKDSK is NOT a RAID recovery tool. It is simply a tool to ensure the operating system can function properly. The problem it creates is that sometimes when trying to ensure the operating system works well, it can FURTHER CORRUPT your RAID setup. Avoid using it, and save yourself thousands of potential dollars.

Check Connections - As simple as it sounds, sometimes vibrations can break the integrity of hardware and cabling connections. Although rare, it's never a good idea to ship out a full RAID system expecting a Corrupted RAID, only to find out that a single cable had come loose.

Keep RAID drive order the same - Moving your drives around in your enclosure can be catastrophic. Even for professional RAID data recovery companies like Hard Drive Recovery Group, this can make things incredibly difficult, and expensive. So this is a must to avoid.

No matter your RAID manufacturer, or the operating system your box is using, HDRG can handle it. Our 20 years of experience works daily for all of our clients, ensuring data is recovered and safe.
