Expert RAID Recovery Services for Every Configuration
No matter the RAID type, striped, mirrored, nested, or proprietary, our recovery experts can get your data back fast.
RAID 0
RAID 0 – Striping Only
RAID 0 offers speed by striping data across drives but provides zero redundancy. If one drive fails, the entire array goes down. We recover RAID 0 arrays from systems like Dell XPS desktops, gaming PCs, and custom workstations using advanced imaging and stripe reconstruction techniques, even when one or more drives suffer head crashes, firmware damage, or logical corruption. We’ve rescued data others called unrecoverable.
Learn more about RAID 0 recovery
RAID 1
RAID 1 – Mirroring
RAID 1 duplicates data across two drives for fault tolerance, but real-world failures can be more complex. Corrupt RAID metadata, failed rebuilds, or mismatched mirrors can still cause data loss. We recover mirrored sets from Dell PowerEdge servers, HP ProLiant towers, and consumer systems like Synology DiskStations, handling overwritten partitions, OS corruption, or simultaneous sector degradation with precise imaging and forensic-level file reconstruction.
Learn more about RAID 1 recovery
RAID 5
RAID 5 – Single Parity
RAID 5 stripes data and parity across all drives, offering redundancy for a single disk failure. But if a second drive fails, a rebuild goes wrong, or the array degrades, data becomes inaccessible. We recover RAID 5 arrays from Dell PERC, HP Smart Array, Synology RackStation, and more—overcoming physical failure, reconstructing parity, rebuilding virtual members, and restoring lost data from damaged or partially initialized volumes.
Learn more about RAID 5 recovery
RAID 6
RAID 6 – Dual Parity
RAID 6 stores two independent parity blocks, allowing for up to two simultaneous drive failures. But controller failures, staggered rebuilds, or sector rot can still lead to total data loss. We recover RAID 6 arrays from systems like Dell PowerVault, NetApp FAS, and QNAP TS-h886—reconstructing lost parity, rebuilding missing members, and restoring critical data even from failed or partially rebuilt volumes.
Learn more about RAID 6 recovery
RAID 10 / 01
RAID 10 & 01 – Nested Arrays
RAID 10 and RAID 01 combine striping and mirroring for both performance and redundancy, but they’re still vulnerable when multiple mirrored pairs fail. Improper rebuilds, faulty controllers, or simultaneous disk loss can break the array. We recover nested RAID configurations from systems like Dell PowerEdge servers, Lenovo ThinkSystem arrays, and Supermicro platforms—reconstructing failed mirrors, restoring stripe sequences, and salvaging data even when multiple points of failure overlap.
Learn more about RAID 10 recovery
RAID 50
RAID 50 – Striped RAID 5
RAID 50 combines multiple RAID 5 arrays striped together, offering improved performance and fault tolerance. But if two drives fail within the same RAID 5 subset, the entire array can collapse. We recover RAID 50 arrays from Dell EMC servers, HP ProLiant systems, and QNAP storage units—rebuilding degraded subsets, recalculating parity across stripes, and restoring full volumes even after controller failures or partial array initialization.
Learn more about RAID 50 recovery
RAID 60
RAID 60 – Striped RAID 6
RAID 60 stripes data across multiple RAID 6 arrays, combining performance with double parity for higher fault tolerance. Still, simultaneous failures in multiple groups—or corrupt parity blocks—can result in total data loss. We recover RAID 60 volumes from NetApp FAS, Dell PowerVault, and custom-built Supermicro servers by rebuilding degraded member sets, restoring lost parity, and reconstructing full arrays even when group-level redundancy has been compromised.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
RAID 3
RAID 3 – Dedicated Parity Drive
RAID 3 uses byte-level striping with a single dedicated parity disk, offering balanced performance and redundancy in older systems. Though largely obsolete, it still appears in legacy video editing servers and specialized scientific hardware. We recover failed RAID 3 arrays by restoring stripe synchronization, rebuilding the parity drive, and extracting data from legacy platforms including SGI workstations, older NAS units, and discontinued video capture systems where RAID 3 was once common.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
RAID 4
RAID 4 – Static Parity Disk
RAID 4 uses block-level striping with a dedicated parity disk, similar to RAID 5 but with less balanced write performance. Though uncommon, it’s still found in legacy NetApp and early NAS environments. If the static parity disk fails or becomes unreadable, the entire array can collapse. We repair degraded members, emulate lost parity, and rebuild RAID 4 volumes to recover mission-critical data from legacy systems and aging storage appliances.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
JBOD
JBOD – Just a Bunch of Disks
JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) aggregates multiple drives into a single volume without redundancy or striping. It’s often used in DAS, external enclosures, or systems like Drobo in passthrough mode. When one disk fails, part of the data becomes inaccessible. We reconstruct volume maps, identify data offsets, and extract recoverable files from remaining drives, even when enclosure metadata is missing or misaligned.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
Intel Matrix RAID
Intel Matrix RAID – Hybrid Chipset Arrays
Intel Matrix RAID enables hybrid configurations like RAID 0+1 or separate RAID 0 and RAID 5 volumes on the same set of drives, commonly found in Intel ICH chipsets. When BIOS settings are reset or members drop offline, volumes become unreadable. We recover Intel Matrix arrays by reconstructing metadata, restoring broken spans, and repairing corrupted RAID tables—even on legacy boards used in systems from Dell, ASUS, and HP.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
NAS Systems
NAS – Synology, QNAP, Buffalo
Network-attached storage (NAS) systems like Synology, Buffalo, QNAP, Seagate, and Western Digital combine RAID with proprietary file systems, volume managers, and custom firmware. When a unit fails, drives are removed in the wrong order, or a rebuild is interrupted, volumes often become inaccessible. We recover data from failed NAS arrays by reconstructing RAID metadata, restoring EXT4/BTRFS/XFS volumes, and fully recovering all data.
Learn more about NAS recovery
SAN Arrays
SAN – Enterprise Block Storage
Storage Area Networks (SANs) from vendors like EMC, NetApp, Dell EqualLogic, and HPE 3PAR often combine nested RAID arrays with virtualization layers and custom LUN configurations. When controller metadata becomes corrupted, drives are mismatched, or volume groups degrade, data access is lost across entire systems. We recover SAN arrays by rebuilding RAID layers, repairing virtual volumes, and reconstructing missing LUNs, even when only partial drive sets remain available.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
Proprietary RAID
Proprietary RAID Controllers
Controllers like Dell PERC, HP Smart Array, Areca, LSI MegaRAID, and Adaptec use proprietary metadata formats, virtual disk structures, and non-standard RAID logic. When configurations go missing or rebuilds fail, recovery requires reverse-engineering controller behavior. We extract metadata, reconstruct lost parity, and restore virtual members—even from partially initialized arrays or firmware-locked volumes. Our tools and experience allow recovery when other labs can’t decode the custom logic behind these RAID systems.
Call Now | 866-221-3111
Drobo
Drobo – BeyondRAID Architecture
Drobo’s BeyondRAID uses proprietary logic to combine mismatched drive sizes with built-in redundancy. But when a Drobo fails—due to firmware corruption, multiple bad drives, or a failed migration—standard RAID tools can't recover the data. We’ve reverse-engineered BeyondRAID structures, enabling us to reconstruct Drobo volumes, extract raw block layouts, and recover files even when traditional tools and competitors fall short. We support 4-bay, 5N, 8D, and other Drobo models.

Call Now | 866-221-3111Real RAID Failures We Recover Every Day
RAID failures happen more often than you think. Here’s what they look like, and how we recover from them every day.
Drive Failures
RAID offline from failed drive(s)
Even If Multiple Drives Are Down, We Can Still Help
It usually starts with one failing SATA, SAS, or SCSI drive, often unnoticed in a RAID 5 or 6. Months later, a second drive drops, and access is lost. We’ve recovered thousands of arrays in this exact situation. Failed heads, seized motors, degraded platters—these drives aren’t dead until we say so. But rebuilding or swapping drives too soon can seal their fate. Preserve all drives, even the bad ones, and let us take it from here.
Hardware Failures
RAID card or server hardware failed
The Hardware Broke, But We Can Still Recover Your Data
Your RAID server powers on, but the array is gone. Maybe the controller fried, the cache module failed, or a firmware update bricked the RAID card. We’ve recovered arrays from failed backplanes, burned-out PSUs, and even melted motherboards. Whether you're running Dell, HP, or Supermicro, your disks may still be perfectly intact. Just don't swap controllers or reconfigure anything. Pull the drives, label the order, and call us before the damage spreads.
Logical Failures
Corrupted volume or file system
Missing Partitions. Broken Volumes. We Can Still Help
Your drives are healthy, but the data’s a mess. Maybe the volume suddenly shows as RAW, unallocated, or refuses to mount. We see this after improper shutdowns, failed software updates, or silent corruption creeping into NTFS, VMFS, EXT4, or ZFS file systems. From crashed partition tables to damaged metadata and missing volumes, these cases require low-level forensic repair. If the RAID still mounts but folders are missing or gibberish, shut it down now. The sooner we see it, the better.
Human Error
Mistaken format, deletion, or setup
Mistakes Happen. We Recover What Matters
We’ve seen it all, drives swapped out of order, accidental reformats, arrays rebuilt with the wrong disk, or someone clicking “Initialize” under pressure. These mistakes usually happen after a failure, when panic sets in and someone tries to fix it fast. Sadly, one wrong move can overwrite critical parity or destroy the original volume structure. If this sounds familiar, stop now. The good news? We’ve reversed thousands of these cases. The sooner we get it, the more we can save.
Catastrophic Events
Surge, flood, fire, or physical shock
Burned. Soaked. Dropped. It's Likely Still Recoverable
We’ve recovered data from servers hit by lightning, soaked in floods, charred in fires, or dropped down stairwells during a rushed office move. These events often damage both the drives and the RAID controller, leaving the array unreadable. But even in the worst cases, we’ve salvaged irreplaceable data by imaging what’s left, reconstructing volumes, and bypassing hardware entirely. If your RAID survived a disaster—no matter how bad, don’t give up. We specialize in recoveries others won’t even attempt.
What's Wrong With My RAID Array?
Understand Your RAID Failure Symptoms & What to Do Next
Possible Failure: Multiple drive failures, controller malfunction, power supply issues, firmware corruption, or hardware faults.
Significance of Failure: A RAID/NAS offline state or persistent error messages (e.g., ‘I/O Error,’ ‘Array Failed’) signal a severe operational failure. Multiple drive losses exceed redundancy limits, a malfunctioning controller disrupts data access, and power or firmware anomalies compromise system stability. Data persists across the array, but its availability is critically impaired, specialized recovery is essential.
Warning: STOP messing with it! Never attempt a rebuild if you can’t see your data. Doing so will result in permanent and full data loss. Repeated power-ups or missteps can trash the array for good. Skip DIY rebuilds.
Solution: Bring all your RAID drives, including non-failed ones, to our File Savers RAID recovery specialists. No server needed. Our expert RAID engineers will overcome the degradation and recover your data to a new USB external drive.
Find a File Savers location near you for a free diagnostic and expert help.
Possible Failure: Multiple drive failure, dead controller, motherboard, power supply, or OS/file system corruption.
Significance of Failure: A server that won’t boot is a full-on RAID/NAS meltdown. Multiple drive failures, crashed controllers, dead power supplies, or motherboard issues fry the system. Data’s still on the drives, and the chances of recovery are high if you stop messing with it now! Making the right moves now is critical!
Warning: Don’t keep powering it on! Never attempt a rebuild if you can’t see your data, doing so will result in permanent and full data loss. Repeated boots can trash drives or wipe the array for good. Skip DIY rebuilds.
Solution: Bring all your RAID drives, including non-failed ones, to our File Savers RAID data recovery center. No server needed. Our expert RAID engineers will overcome the degradation and recover your data to a new USB drive.

Possible Failure: Drive failure, controller breakdown, loose connections, motherboard issues, or dead backplane preventing drive recognition.
Significance of Failure: Undetected drives in a RAID/NAS denote a critical detection failure. While a single drive dropout may be concealed by redundancy, a failed controller, motherboard defects, or backplane issues can disrupt array configuration, rendering multiple drives invisible. Data remains intact across the disks, but access is severely compromised; immediate data recovery technical expertise is required to preserve recoverability.
Warning: Stop what you’re doing! Never attempt a rebuild if you can’t see your data, doing so will result in permanent and full data loss. Powering on or messing with connections risks corrupting the array for good. Avoid DIY tinkering.

Find a File Savers location near you for a free diagnostic and expert help.
Possible Failure: Multiple drive failures, controller issues, overheating components, or power supply faults.
Significance of Failure: Multiple amber lights indicate a critical RAID/NAS failure state. The loss of multiple drives exceeds redundancy thresholds (e.g., RAID 5 or 6 tolerances), an unstable controller misinterprets array metadata, or thermal and power irregularities damage essential components. Data remains distributed across the drives, but its integrity is at severe risk; recovery hinges on immediate, expert intervention.
Warning: Don’t power cycle or pull drives! Never attempt a rebuild if your data isn’t visible. Doing so can result in permanent, unrecoverable data loss. Every failed attempt increases the risk of frying components or corrupting the RAID array beyond repair. Avoid DIY recovery; guesswork has consequences.
Solution: Bring all of your RAID drives, even the ones that haven’t failed, to our File Savers data recovery experts. You don’t need to bring the full server or enclosure. Our expert RAID engineers will analyze the full array, overcome any degradation, and recover your data safely to a new USB drive.

Possible Failure: Additional drive failures, failed server components including power supply, motherboard, backplane, or RAID controller.
Significance of Failure: A failed rebuild typically stems from a second or third drive failing during the process, halting reconstruction and severing data access. This exceeds RAID tolerances (e.g., RAID 5’s single-drive limit), while controller errors, firmware incompatibilities, or latent corruption compound the issue. Data persists across the array, but its integrity is critically unstable; expert data recovery is imperative.
Warning: Don’t try another rebuild! Never attempt a rebuild if you don’t have full access to your data, doing so will result in permanent and full data loss. Forcing it risks overwriting everything. Skip DIY moves.
Solution: Gather all of your RAID drives, including the ones that still appear healthy, and bring them to our File Savers data recovery specialists. There’s no need to bring the entire server. Our specialized RAID engineers will reconstruct the array, resolve any degradation or failure, and recover your data safely to a new USB drive.
Find a File Savers location near you for a free diagnostic and expert help.
Possible Failure: Formatted drives, file system corruption, controller errors, or partial drive failure.
Significance of Failure: Data absence from a RAID/NAS indicates a significant logical or physical disruption. Formatting severs file system pointers, corruption distorts directory structures, and controller or partial drive faults fracture data mapping. With RAID’s parity or striping, a single point of failure can cascade across the array, rendering recovery technically demanding and time-sensitive.
Warning: Stop using it now! Never attempt a rebuild if your data isn’t visible, doing so can cause permanent, unrecoverable data loss. Writing new data may overwrite what’s left, and even powering on the system can worsen corruption. Avoid DIY fixes—one wrong move could eliminate your only chance of recovery.

How to Protect Your Data After a RAID Failure
These steps will help you avoid permanent data loss—whether you have backups or not.
If You Have Backups
Step 1
Never Reuse Old RAID Drives
Never Use Drives from the Original RAID to Restore Your Backup
Even if you plan to restore from backup, never reuse drives from your failed RAID array—no matter how tempting it is to save time. A common disaster scenario unfolds like this: one drive fails, no one notices, then a second fails and the entire array crashes. You discover you have a recent backup and decide to rebuild using a few old drives and a couple of new ones. But after restoring, you realize something critical—like a SQL database—wasn’t being backed up. Unfortunately, reusing those original drives has now overwritten your only chance to recover that missing data. Always restore to a clean set of fully wiped, unused drives.
Step 2
Keep Original Drives Powered Off
Leave the Original RAID Drives Untouched
After a RAID failure, your original drives may still contain recoverable data—even if the array is broken or unreadable. One of the most critical steps is to stop using them entirely. Do not boot from them, restore to them, or rebuild with them still connected. Powering them on unnecessarily risks head crashes, parity shifts, or automated processes that overwrite recoverable sectors. And don’t discard failed drives—they often contain key data that healthy drives don’t. If your backup turns out to be incomplete, those “bad” drives may be the only way to get your lost files back.
Step 3
Fully Wipe All Replacement Drives
Zero Out All Drives Before Use
Before you restore backups or rebuild your system, make sure every replacement drive has been fully wiped to zeroes. Even drives straight from the factory can contain leftover data from testing, formatting, or a prior RAID configuration. Residual boot partitions or hidden RAID metadata can cause volume corruption, failed mounts, or mismatched RAID signatures during rebuild. Don’t just quick format—use full overwrite utilities or manufacturer-provided tools to zero out each drive. This simple step prevents hours of troubleshooting and protects your recovery from avoidable complications.
Step 4
Restore Your Backup with Caution
Restore Data to the New Server
Now that your replacement drives are clean and your system is prepped, you can begin restoring your backup. But proceed with caution—this is where many discover missing or corrupted files that weren’t included in their backup strategy. Watch the process carefully, and immediately verify that your most critical data—such as databases, QuickBooks files, email archives, and shared network folders are complete, up to date, and open without errors. If anything is missing or fails to load properly, you'll be a hero for following these steps, because we can very likely recover all your data from your original failed RAID array.
If You Don’t Have Backups
Step 1
Try Reseating Drives—But Be Extremely Careful
Only If Necessary—And Never All at Once
If your RAID went down and you don’t have backups, it's natural to feel pressure to act fast—especially if your boss is pushing you to get it running again. But take a breath. You can try reseating drives, but only one at a time, and only if you understand the risk. A drive that failed months ago could contain stale data that corrupts your array the moment it's reintroduced. If the server boots, it may be running off the wrong drive. If you then replace a “known bad” drive and rebuild, you could overwrite all your current data with outdated or invalid parity. Worse, rebuilds put massive stress on aging drives, which often leads to a third failure mid-process. If you're unsure, stop and get expert help before making it worse.
Step 2
Check File Integrity First
Don’t Celebrate Yet—Check Your Files
Just because the server comes online doesn’t mean the data is safe. Carefully verify that your most critical files—like SQL databases, QuickBooks, Outlook PSTs, and shared network folders—are complete and up to date. Try opening several recent files. If anything appears corrupted, missing, or won’t load, shut it down immediately. Every second the system runs increases the risk of file system damage, overwritten parity, or corrupted metadata. This is your chance to save clean data before someone initiates a rebuild or tries to “fix” things. If in doubt, stop here and let us help preserve what’s recoverable.
Step 3
Copy Critical Data Now
Back Up Before Rebuilding—This Is Your Safety Net
If your RAID is online and files appear accessible, don’t rush into repairs or rebuilds. First, copy your most critical data—databases, QuickBooks files, virtual machines, Outlook archives, and shared folders—to an external USB or NAS. This backup may be your only lifeline if the rebuild fails or triggers additional drive loss. Prioritize folders with recent changes and active projects. Once you've verified those files open and are intact, you’ll have breathing room. It’s better to pause with a copy of what matters than to move fast and lose everything.
Step 4
Rebuild Only to Recover, Not to Repair
Replace Drives Cautiously—This May Be Your Only Window
If you’ve confirmed that your most critical data is accessible and safely copied, you can begin cautiously replacing failed drives—one at a time. Let each rebuild finish fully before replacing another. But remember, your RAID likely has two or more compromised drives, and any additional stress may push it past the point of no return. Your goal here is not to “fix” the RAID long-term. Your only mission is to stabilize it just enough to extract the rest of your data. Rebuild only if necessary, and be prepared to stop immediately if anything begins to fail.
You’ve Done All You Can. Don’t Risk Permanent Loss.
Any further action could make recovery impossible.
Time to Call File Savers
At this point, continued attempts could permanently destroy your RAID. Don’t run CHKDSK. Don’t try another rebuild. Don’t trust one more online guide. Every step risks overwriting what’s left.

How Much Does RAID Recovery Cost?
RAID recovery prices depend on several factors: RAID type, number of drives, capacity, failure type, and urgency. Here’s how each one affects your quote.
Type of RAID
RAID layout and system configuration
RAID Level & Hardware Change Everything
Whether it’s RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, or something more complex, each layout affects how your data is distributed—and how we must reconstruct it. NAS and SAN systems often add proprietary hardware, encrypted volumes, or hybrid striping. Advanced setups require more time, specialized tools, and reverse-engineering, all of which impact price. The more complex the configuration, the more effort required to recover it right.
Number of Drives
How many disks in the array
More Drives Means More Imaging & Analysis
A 4-drive RAID 5 takes less effort to image and reconstruct than a 12-drive SAN with mixed capacities. Every drive must be forensically cloned before any recovery begins, and the larger the set, the longer and more labor-intensive the process. When multiple drives are damaged or failed, the workload multiplies. Cost scales with the number of drives because each one adds complexity and risk.
Gigabyte Capacity
Both total and per-drive capacity
Larger Arrays Take Longer to Recover
Whether it's a 16TB RAID 5 or a 100TB SAN, we have to image every byte from each drive to safely recover your data. Larger drives and higher total capacity increase the time, tools, and storage needed for recovery. Think of it like scanning a library versus a bookshelf—bigger arrays require exponentially more resources, which naturally affects price.
Failure of RAID
Mechanical, logical, or environmental
Failure Type Shapes the Recovery Path
Multi-drive failure? Failed rebuild? Burned server? Each scenario presents unique challenges. Physically damaged drives may need head swaps or platter work. Logical failures like corrupted metadata require forensic repair. Natural disasters can affect drives, backplanes, and RAID controllers all at once. Complex failures increase recovery difficulty, time, and tooling. Our job is to navigate all of it and get your data back.
Urgency
Standard, Priority, or Emergency
How Fast You Need It Impacts Cost
Standard service (7–14 days) is the most affordable. Priority (2–5 days) or Emergency (24–48 hours) means we dedicate senior engineers, equipment, and around-the-clock effort to your case. Faster service compresses timelines, not quality, and can cost more due to the focused attention. If uptime is critical, we’ll move mountains to get you back online—just let us know how fast you need it.

Our engineers support your engineers, helping you stay on schedule and deliver precision across structural, civil, electrical, and mechanical design workflows.
Telecom
RAID Recovery for Telecom Networks
Telecom providers use large-scale RAID and SAN systems to store call logs, infrastructure maps, and service configurations. When these systems crash due to controller failure or parity errors, we restore critical data quickly and securely. Our RAID recovery solutions ensure uptime and help telecom engineers avoid prolonged outages or costly disruptions to customer service.
Travel
RAID Recovery for Travel Systems
Travel companies, airlines, and booking services store itineraries, CRM data, and passenger records on RAID-enabled servers. When a RAID 5 array fails or VM-based systems crash, the customer experience suffers. File Savers recovers mission-critical data from virtualized platforms and bare-metal servers, keeping the travel industry running smoothly even in the face of technical disaster.
Energy
RAID Recovery for the Energy Sector
Utilities and energy companies store grid analytics, SCADA logs, and infrastructure data across high-availability RAID arrays. When those systems fail due to mechanical breakdowns or failed rebuilds, File Savers recovers mission-critical data fast. We help energy providers restore continuity and prevent system outages, keeping customer services operational and infrastructure data intact during emergency events.
Creative
RAID Recovery for Creatives
Photographers, illustrators, and digital designers often store work on RAID-configured NAS devices or external enclosures. When those fail—due to dropped drives, bad rebuilds, or controller failure—our recovery engineers bring back project files, Adobe libraries, and full portfolios. We protect the creative industry’s digital lifeblood and help professionals recover the inspiration they thought was lost for good.
