Hard Drive 911 RAID Recovery is one of the few data recovery companies successfully performing RAID Recovery from RAID arrays with multiple hard drive failures. Multiple Drive Failures in a RAID is a very common issue due to the following: RAID arrays are seldom monitored as intended. RAID arrays are often neglected due to the perceived notion that the data is safe because of the fact it is on a RAID. Multiple members (drives) in a RAID are subject to the same physical event based on proximity. Flood, fire, and electrical issues are all serious issues for any hard drive. In a RAID these dangers are compounded. If a power surge gets through your UPS or power condition, the entire RAID is at risk. In a fire or flood, all the components of a RAID array share equal risk of damage or destruction. Multiple Failed Drives in a RAID presents unique challenges which Hard Drive 911 RAID Recovery Services had spent more than a decade engineering specialized solutions for. RAID's (other than RAID 0 Striped Arrays) are designed to be fault tolerant of one or more drives experiencing complete failure. If one drive fails, and is replaced and a rebuild of the RAID is completed, the data should remain intact with no downtime. Complexity arrises when multiple drives fail in your RAID array. In many cases of two or more drives failing, we must determine which data is the most current iteration to rebuild from. Data is often written incorrectly to the RAID drives during failure, presenting itself as corrupt data. Hard Drive 911 RAID Recovery Services has more than a decade of industry-leading expertise in multiple-drive RAID failures. Whether you use a two-drive Lacie RAID 0 or a 32-drive server, we have the expertise to recovery your mission-critical data.

My external drive with all my pictures and movies started making the clicking of death recently. I was distressed as all my pictures and home movies were on the drive. I called several data recovery services and was most impressed with the expertise, professionalism and value of Hard Drive 911. Tom was very helpful in explaining what had happened to the drive and how they could help. He also gave me advice on the best way to set up a back up system to prevent loss of my data in the future. I sent the hard drive to Tom and received the recovered data on a new drive promptly. I was very impressed with the quality of service at Hard Drive 911 and was relieved to have my data back.
