RAID 5 offers the best data backup, capacity & performance for a Raid System. RAID 5 stripes all available drives into a single large volume, space equal to one of its hard drives is used to store parity data. If the Raid 5 system is correctly configured, when one hard drive fails, it will use the parity data to rebuild your data from other hard drives. RAID 5 needs a minimum of 3 hard drives. Total RAID 5 capacity is calculated by subtracting the space of two drives from the sum of all the hard drives. If you want to use a hot spare with RAID 5, you must have a minimum of four hard drives. In order for us to perform a successful RAID 5 recovery, we need all of the drives that are part of the array.
No matter what Raid configuration your company may utilize be it a RAID 0, 1, 2, 5 or 10, we can complete a full recovery for you. Our Raid recovery process involves receiving the media, imaging the hard drives & then rebuilding your Raid system. The media in servers suffer from the same failure as drives in Pc's and workstations.
We have committed years of research and development into quicker and better ways to recover RAID 0, 1, 2 & 5 arrays. Our success rate for RAID recovery is 98%, which is higher than other data recovery companies. We currently support recovery from all types of Operating Systems and RAID controllers.
Your Raid 5 System will produce error messages as below:
RAID controller failure Controller Card Set-up Corruption Controller Card Failure Hardware conflicts Server won't boot Rebuild failure Damaged striping Viruses or malicious intent Multiple drive failure (or multiple drives go offline) RAID array or volumes that won't mount after a server crash Configuration damage or corruption Addition of incompatible drives Software corruption Viruses or malicious intent Operating system upgrades RAID Container Crash
Your Raid System may not recognize the Raid Hard Drives, or is making extraordinary noises - If the hard disks are making ANY strange noises, then switch the system off immediately. We normally can successfully recovery data and, in many cases, return it within 24 hours!

Our Diagnosis will confirm the level of data recovery that we can attain from your Hard Drive, we will contact you ASAP to determine what data you want recovered.
We will recover the data you want and copy the contents onto a suitable media.
