RAID Recovery Capabilities
East African Data Handlers Data Recovery services utilize advanced data recovery tools and techniques to repair, recover and rebuild inaccessible data from all types of RAID systems and situations:

• Any RAID level, RAID controller or RAID architecture
• Any hard drive type, make or model
• All causes of data loss - recover data from simple, to the most complex and catastrophic, data loss situations - including viruses, natural disasters, accidental deletion, system crashes, corruption, hardware failure and more

RAID Data Recovery Service Options

• Remote Data Recovery Services - If a RAID or SAN has only one drive failed, our remote data recovery service is the fastest, most convenient and cost effective solution for recovering data.
• In-Lab Data Recovery Services - For situations in which a RAID has multiple failed drives, our In-Lab data recovery services will utilize our cleanrooms to recover your critical data.
• On-Site Data Recovery Services - In cases where severe, large-scale data loss occurs or moving storage media would require too much downtime - performing data recovery procedures right at your facility may be the best option.

RAID Usage Tips

• Never replace a failed drive with a drive that was part of a previous RAID system - always zero out the replacement drive before using
• If a drive is making unusual mechanical noises, turn it off immediately and get assistance
• Have a valid backup before making hardware or software changes
• Label the drives with their position in a RAID array
• Do not run volume repair utilities on suspected bad drives
• Do not run defragmenter utilities on suspected bad drives
• In a power loss situation with a RAID array, if the file system looks suspicious, or is un-mountable, or the data is inaccessible after power is restored, do not run volume repair utilities

Due to the highly technical nature of RAID recoveries, an important step to take when choosing a data recovery provider is to ensure that the provider has the capacity to take on large and highly complex recovery jobs. Many data recovery providers do not have enough resources or expertise to handle a successful RAID recovery.

Attempting to recover a RAID without an experienced data recovery specialist can put your critical data at further risk.
When hardware malfunction is a component of the problem, permanent destruction of data can occur with failed recovery attempts.
