RAID 5 Recovery Expertise

Raid-5-Array

RAID 5 is popular for its combination of disk striping and parity, which ensures both redundancy and reliability. Unlike mirroring, which stores multiple copies of data, RAID 5 uses parity to protect against data loss. When data is written, parity is calculated and distributed across the drives.

If one drive fails, RAID 5 can rebuild the data using this parity. However, after a single drive failure, immediate repair is crucial. If a second drive fails or the RAID controller malfunctions, data recovery may be the only way to avoid permanent data loss.

All RAID Servers and Configurations Supported

DriveSavers specialises in RAID data recovery, offering unmatched expertise for all RAID server levels and configurations. Whether you’re dealing with hardware like HDDs and SSDs or specific RAID setups from RAID 0 to RAID Z3, our services encompass a broad spectrum of RAID servers and media across major brands like HP, Dell, and IBM.

RAID devices vary depending on their manufacturer. DriveSavers engineers have an in-depth understanding of each manufacturer’s unique components and configurations. Our technical partnerships with RAID systems and controller manufacturers grant us exclusive access to methods, tools, and technologies that aid in RAID data recovery from SSDs, HDDs, and intricate hybrid storage systems.

Manufacturer Approved

All leading manufacturers authorise DriveSavers to open sealed storage device mechanisms without voiding the original warranty. Our data recovery allows you to receive an in-warranty device replacement from the manufacturer. Learn more.

Certified ISO Cleanroom Maximises Recovery Results

DriveSavers operates the industry’s largest state-of-the-art Certified ISO Cleanroom environment. To ensure the best possible outcomes in data recovery, all hard disk drive physical recovery operations take place in the DriveSavers state-of-the-art Cleanroom setting — the industry’s pinnacle of controlled environments.

The Certified ISO Class 5 Cleanroom adheres to the guidelines established by top-tier hard drive and data storage manufacturers. This is where DriveSavers engineers conduct a detailed examination of malfunctioning HDDs, assess them for physical defects, and carry out precise component-level repairs. Our recovery methods won’t invalidate the original hard drive warranty.

This image details the importance of opening a hard disk drive in an ISO-certified cleanroom. Tiny airborne particles can accumulate on the open hard disk drive platters, causing read-write heads to malfunction and damage the platter surface during the recovery process. Learn more.

X-Ray Technology

DriveSavers utilises X-ray technology for precise diagnostics, identifying irregularities and critical damage in storage media without risking device integrity. Using X-ray technology expands our data recovery capabilities, confirms suspected component failure, and validates proficiency of ball grid array (BGA) rework. No other data recovery service has this advanced technology in its lab.
