The RAID Data Recovery Process

An initial diagnosis by our RAID data recovery team determines whether each media device is accessible to our lab equipment. If so, the first priority is to create a raw image of all data from accessible media onto new media so that logical analysis can determine the nature of the information loss situation
If some of the media is inaccessible our lab will test the components and closely examine its internal health to determine the extent of physical damage.
Recovery of crashed RAID and other hard disks often involves replacing failed or damaged components in a clean environment and using specialized hardware and software tools to create the raw image. Failed components typically include electronics, read/write heads, head assemblies, magnets & drive motors.
Logical RAID data recovery uses the raw images of all the server’s media by examining the low-level data sectors. Technicians must determine both the exact layout of volumes which span or are striped across multiple drives and what fixes to filesystem structures are needed to get access to the important data.
Multiple-drive servers are typically ‘destriped’ onto our media so that filesystem repairs can be performed and the data files extracted. Sometimes the existing filesystem structures are missing or damaged so much that data has to be extracted directly from one or more fragments of the destriped image.
Our programmers have created a full set of software tools used by our technicians to analyze, destripe, fix & recover data from raw images drives to virtually all operating systems. Once a recovery has been successfully performed, file lists are created and information validity is checked.

Our Latest Testimonial

“I was very pleased that Data Clinic were able to rescue two failed NAS RAID drives for us. They were full of vital archive media files, that we thought we’d lost forever. Their service was quick, and their technical advice was detailed but at a level we could understand. We hope not to have to use them again, but definitely would!”

The hard drive I use for work recently died. I hadn't backed up for a few weeks and thought I'd lost out on a fair chunk of work. However, Data Clinic managed to retrieve the data in full (around 3TB) and returned it to me fairly quickly. A little pricey, but worth it. Excellent customer service too, I called up a couple of times and each time they were friendly, helpful and informative.

I highly recommend Data Clinic Ltd. Although on the higher end of the price scale compared to a couple of other companies I contacted; this company is extremely professional and efficient with communication which is why I went with them.Others were a little bit pushy in their sales pitches and one of them failed to get back to me in time.Data Clinic give you the information without pressuring you to choose them which is what I liked. Due to how friendly and genuine they sound on the phone and professional emails I chose them.My damaged external hard drive was not allowing me to access any files. I sent in my damaged one and an empty new one and they were able to retrieve all the data from the damaged one and transfer it to the new one!Initially, when they arranged the old and new hard drives to be collected and sent to their lab, the courier Parcel Force missed two collections but eventually collected it. Due to the inconvenience caused because of this, Michelle who handled my case kindly gave me a £50 discount towards the total cost of the service. She provided her mobile number for easy contact to get updates as well.I had to pay a spare parts charge of £60 before the work was carried out.Once the work was carried out I was sent a final invoice for the balance. There was an extra charge on there for the supply of a hard drive but when I called to query it, Chris kindly ammended the invoice for me.Humans are not perfect and will make mistakes but it's the way the mistakes are handled which gives you a good or bad impression of a company.Data Clinic staff are very friendly and professional and if I ever need their services again I would not hesitate to contact them!Just to note, Parcel Force delivered my old and new hard drive with the recovered data back to me a day later than was promised, but this is not Data Clinics fault. Just be aware that if you use Data Clinic, Parcel Force may delay the collection and delivery. Other than that, I cannot fault Data Clinic for their hard work and professionalism.
