At RAID Recovery Boston, we have worked with large and small businesses, government agencies, law enforcement and universities to restore RAID data in and around Boston.

Failed RAID

If you have already tried to rebuild your RAID, but still can't access your data, you should stop now. These are the three most common 'do-it-yourself' failures which companies like yours experience when attempting to restore a corrupted RAID array:

• Swapping the order of the hard drives.
  This will only increase the risk that the parity and striping is overwritten which then makes it almost impossible to recover the data.
  
• Forcing a rebuild.
  This will only increase the odds that your data loss is permanent. These types of RAID failures require specialized training, software and equipment.
  
• Off the shelf recovery software.
  Even if you are using RAID utilities or recovery software, unless you are experienced with the nauances of a performing a RAID server data recovery and have sucessfully restored data or rebuilt arrays, these RAID repair software packages can potentially cause more damage.
  

Permanent data loss often occurs when multiple hard drives in a RAID are swapped, moved from one position to another, or placed in other RAID servers in an attempt to rebuild or repair the original RAID array.

To reduce the chances that your data is completely lost, you will need professional RAID recovery services. A RAID data recovery specialist should have thorough knowledge of RAID configurations, drive structures, MFT mount points, HEX, and offsets to avoid destroying data while attempting a recovery.

The safest thing you could do at this point is contact a RAID recovery specialist to have an image of the hard drive made, evaluate the damage and begin the process to recover data from the hard drive.
