Raid 5 Data Recovery Services Irvine California
When a RAID 5
fails, many of our customers come to us desperate for help.
In most instances, a person's job or business can be on the
line when this type of data loss occurs. Many corporate
executives don't understand why there wasn't a backup of the
data prior to the crash, and that can be a hard thing to
explain. We understand how difficult this time can be, and
we work with you every step of the way in order to get your
data back as quickly and efficiently as possible.
One of the biggest
concerns we have from potential customers is: "will your
services make matters worse?" The answer is a resounding NO.
We start off with an initial evaluation just to determine
the integrity of the drives, and confirm they are
functioning as they should. This usually consists of just a
quick power up to verify there is no unusual noises. If the
customer has specified that a drive is making unusual
noises, then we do not risk powering it up at all. There are
a series of tests we can perform in order to determine how
serious the failure is, without risking further damage.
In situations
where there is a physical problem with the drives, then we
will proceed with making whatever repairs are necessary in
order to get the drive functioning, in order that we may be
able to image it. While we can technically rebuild the array
in our emulator with one drive missing, rarely have we seen
this work effectively enough to garner the best results in
the recovery process.
If all of the
drives power up and appear to be functioning properly, then
we start off by creating an image of each drive in the
array. These are sector-by-sector clones. From there we
analyze the strip, and determine a number of parameters
associated with the array that will allow us to recover as
much data as possible.
