RAID Data Recovery Services
Our RAID data recovery services are the best in the industry at recovering mission critical data from failed hardware and software RAID arrays of any level, file system and OS. Secure Data Recovery Services offer flexible options from Free to around the clock emergency evaluations with guaranteed results. We’ve solved some of the most complex data loss situations with extraordinary results. Our team of RAID engineers and data recovery technicians has successfully restored data from failed RAID’s ranging in size from two disks up to several hundred disks and bring customized solutions to the standard stripping, mirroring, and parity RAID failures.
RAID Data Recovery Reviews
Life Savers!
My work drive went down with a lot of important data on it and I reached out to Secure Data Services. From the very start they were helpful and clear with the information provided. Within two weeks I had my data recovered without any hurdles. Great company to work with!
100% data recovered
Throughout the process, I received extremely fast, friendly, and accurate service.
100% of my data was recovered, I am very happy with the result.
In a few days, I received the analysis diagnosis and after my authorization to perform the service, in 3 days I received a new HDD with all my data at my home.
Secure Data Recovery lives up to its reputation.

Life Savers: Jake Gambatese and Colleagues
We were at a sensitive point finishing on a documentary and had a major drive fail. Secure Data Recovery was able to get us up and running again and Jake provided essential support in navigating the process. There were no delays due to communication as every call was answered by someone who was able to help. I hope we never have to use them again but I''m happy to be able to recommend them without...

Data Recovery
We had an excellent experience with secure data recovery. It was a very smooth process and Eric was very helpful and communicative.
Data Recovery
Jonathan provided great customer service. Kept in contact and kept me updated on the progress of recovering data.
thanks again!
Highly recommended
Very positive experience with Secure Data Recovery. Both their customer service and technical expertise are excellent.
I had very important data on two image hard drives physically damaged. Jonathan was able to reconstruct the data by patiently scanning the two hard drives for undamaged sectors, and the results were just incredible. All of this in a very short period of time. I highly reco... Read More
SAN & NAS RAID Recovery
While vastly different by design, SAN and NAS appliances require similar methodology when performing data recovery in the event of data loss. Our RAID recovery engineers specialize in rebuilding the RAID architecture of complex file-based and block-based storage systems. In addition, our team holds an immense library of custom tools required to address many of the proprietary NAS, SAN and SAN-NAS hybrid operating systems and non-standard file systems that challenge other data recovery companies to deliver results with minimum downtime.
Hybrid & Nested RAID Recovery
These RAID types combine two or more levels, blending the best RAID attributes to improve redundancy or increase performance of standard RAID configurations. Still, no storage is failproof and these RAIDs still fail from multiple causes such as disk errors, multiple disk failures, and human errors. Recovering data from hybrid and nested RAID arrays requires specialized data recovery techniques and tools uniquely available to Secure Data Recovery Services.
Virtualization Storage Data Recovery
With the wide adoption of virtualization software in most SMB and enterprise environments due to their many benefits, performing RAID Recovery services commonly requires us to repair damaged hypervisors, virtual machines, snapshots, and virtual disks as part of our scope of work. Our data recovery engineers specialize at restoring data from storage virtualization failures caused by read errors, hardware failure, ransomware attacks, and human errors.
Server Data Recovery
Downtime due to a failed server is especially costly since the impact of inaccessible data spreads to numerous endpoints instantly and can grind productivity to a stop. Our data recovery professionals are uniquely skilled at recovering everything from single disk to large cluster computing, app, web, mail, print, and database servers with maximum efficiency to get our customers back online with minimum downtime.
What NOT to Do When Experiencing RAID Failure
Limiting the time an array runs in degraded mode greatly decreases the risk of permanent data loss. When experiencing data loss on a RAID array NEVER:
- Attempt to reset the RAID
- Re-insert and force online RAID members
- Try to repair file system by running CHKDSK or fsck
- Read from drives making abnormal noises or have SMART errors & bad sectors
- Run software-based recovery programs
What to Do When Experiencing RAID Failure
When experiencing a RAID failure, immediately shut down the system and call a data recovery professional.
- Make detailed notes of the events which occurred (noises, power, and other anomalies)
- Label the sequential order of the drives in the array
- Compose a list of crucial and critical data, including file types and volume/data size
Detailed information will significantly help cut the data recovery turnaround time.
Common Causes of RAID Failure
When RAID data is lost or compromised, production comes to an abrupt stop — and the results can be lethal to your business and your bottom line.
While RAID configurations have higher redundancy and fault tolerance, in many cases, one disk failure can affect the entire configuration. Your array can experience data loss due to a variety of scenarios including:
- Accidental data deletion
- Formatted partitions
- Virus infection
- File system corruption
- RAID controller failure
- Incorrect RAID rebuilds
- Single or multiple drive failures
- Failed Rebuilding of RAID Volumes
- Power surge
- Extensive time required for a rebuild
- Abnormal termination of a rebuild
- An uncorrectable read error has occurred
- A replacement drive has failed
- Another drive in the array has failed
Secure RAID Recovery Process
How does RAID recovery work? Our process begins with a diagnostic review of your failed RAID. During the examination our team will evaluate the condition of the RAID members, scan, and analyze the file system, RAID/SAN/NAS metadata to determine the probability of a successful recovery.
Once the examination is complete, we provide a quote for the recovery and finalize the scope of work. Upon approval, our team will repair damaged RAID members and image them to preserve the original state of the disk. The final stage is to perform RAID assembly, SAN assembly, file system repair, or database repair (SQL, Exchange, Oracle, etc.) as needed and test the integrity of the critical files upon request. To complete the process, our technicians transfer the recovered data to a new secure FIPS 140-2 LEVEL 3 Validated storage device and prepare it for return shipping or customer pickup.
