Data Recovery - How It Works
ACS Data Recovery specializes in complex
RAID configurations, and we can recover data from any level RAID.
Although RAID  systems
increase speed and are designed to protect your data, on occasion
they do fail. If your RAID system has failed, we can help get your
data back. We can successfully recover data from both spanned and
striped configurations, from RAID
0 to RAID 5 and beyond.
Expedite services are available for all RAID arrays.
In many cases, where a RAID has suffered a logical or controller
failure, we can have your data back to you within 24 hours of
receipt. Additional expedite service fees apply, but when you
need your data back, this is quite possibly the quickest service
available in the industry.

recoveries, select your configuration below:
Our RAID recovery methods use a combination of hardware
and software, and we take every precaution to make sure your data
is totally protected. RAID data recovery can be extremely tricky,
and before any recovery method begins, we clone each drive sector
by sector. Whatever you do, do not let anyone run any type of recovery
tool on a RAID system. Just one mistake will cause all of your data
to be lost and deemed completely unrecoverable.
Why
Choose ACS Data Recovery?
- Never an evaluation
fee on RAID systems
- Flat rate pricing
- Specializing in SAN
& NAS Equipment
- We can successfully
recover data any RAID configuration
- We work with SNAP,
HP, Dell, Sun, and many others
- Thousands of satisfied
customers
- Expedited Services
Available
- Confidential service.
We sign confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements whenever
required.
- Each recovery lab
is biometrically protected to keep your data safe and secure at
all times.
We Protect You From
Further Data Loss
- All drives are cloned
sector-by-sector, so there is no chance of any additional data
loss. We cannot make the situation worse during our recovery attempt.
- All recovery work
is performed on our own servers, not yours.
If your RAID has failed, and it contains mission
critical data, you must be extremely careful how you proceed. Running
utilities, replacing drives, and trying to fix the problem yourself
can sometimes have catastrophic results, which may ultimately render
your data unrecoverable.
RAID Failure
Tips
- Do not run chkdsk
- this will destroy raw recoverable data
- Check all hardware
connections
- Check for excessive
heat. This causes many hardware failures.
- Clean the system thoroughly,
remove all dust build up
- Make sure the drives
stay in their original order
Common Problems
We Specialize In
- Controller Failures
- Physical Hard Drive
Failures
- Loss Of One Or More
Drives In The Array
- Accidental Rebuilds
- Loss Of Drive Order

What Is RAID?
In computing, a redundant array of independent disks,
also known as redundant array of inexpensive disks (commonly abbreviated
RAID) is a system of using multiple hard drives for sharing or replicating
data among the drives. Depending on the version chosen, the benefit
of RAID is one or more of increased data integrity, fault-tolerance,
throughput or capacity compared to single drives. In its original
implementations (in which it was an abbreviation for "redundant
array of inexpensive disks"), its key advantage was the ability
to combine multiple low-cost devices using older technology into
an array that offered greater capacity, reliability, speed, or a
combination of these things, than was affordably available in a
single device using the newest technology.
RAID configurations are one of the more tricky to
recover data from mainly because your data is spread out among multiple
disks which are typically configured as a single logical unit.
Other RAID Configurations
RAID 2
Stripes data at the bit (rather than block) level,
and uses a Hamming code for error correction. The disks are synchronized
by the controller to run in perfect tandem. This is the only original
level of RAID that is not currently used. Extremely high data transfer
rates are possible.
RAID 3
Uses byte-level striping with a dedicated parity
disk. RAID 3 is very rare in practice. One of the side effects of
RAID 3 is that it generally cannot service multiple requests simultaneously.
This comes about because any single block of data will by definition
be spread across all members of the set and will reside in the same
location, so any I/O operation requires activity on every disk.
RAID 4
Uses block-level striping with a dedicated parity
disk. RAID 4 looks similar to RAID 3 except that it stripes at the
block, rather than the byte level. This allows each member of the
set to act independently when only a single block is requested.
If the disk controller allows it, a RAID 4 set can service multiple
read requests simultaneously.
RAID 6
Extends RAID 5 by adding an additional parity block,
thus it uses block-level striping with two parity blocks distributed
across all member disks. It was not one of the original RAID levels.
RAID 6 is inefficient when used with a small number
of drives but as arrays become bigger and have more drives the loss
in storage capacity becomes less important and the probability of
two disks failing at once becomes greater. RAID 6 provides protection
against double disk failures and failures while a single disk is
rebuilding. In the case where there is only one array it makes more
sense than having a "hot spare" disk.
ACS Data Recovery is adapt at recovering data from
the configurations above. We can recover your data, and get you
back up and running as quickly as possible.
