RAID 5 Data Recovery Services
RAID 5 Recovery Expertise
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.

During Data Recovery
Anyone can say they're secure. DriveSavers can show it: SSAE 18, SOC 2, ISO Class 5 Cleanroom and PCI DSS, with your data handled under Australian privacy requirements. See the proof.
RAID Experts You Can Rely On
With more than 40 years in the industry, our engineers bring deep technical know-how to every RAID case, which is what lies behind one of the strongest RAID recovery rates in the business. We specialise in all operating systems and high-capacity devices, from RAID systems, NAS and SAN to multi-disk servers. DriveSavers is a service you can trust: we consistently recover lost databases, ERP and accounting systems, mail servers and other mission-critical data for organisations of every size.
RAID devices differ from one manufacturer to the next, and DriveSavers engineers know each manufacturer’s components and configurations inside out. Our technical partnerships with RAID system and controller manufacturers give us exclusive access to the methods, tools and technologies behind RAID recovery from SSDs, HDDs and complex hybrid storage systems.
Manufacturer Approved
Leading storage media manufacturers authorise DriveSavers to open sealed drives without voiding their warranty, so you can still receive an in-warranty replacement device from the manufacturer.
Why Our ISO Cleanroom Makes the Difference
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 ISO Class 5 standard we work to follows the guidelines of the top hard drive and storage manufacturers. In the cleanroom our engineers inspect failed HDDs,find physical faults and carry out precise component-level repairs. Your original warranty stays valid.
Dust you can't see is enough to ruin an open drive. As the image shows, airborne particles landing on the platters can throw the read-write heads off and damage the platter surface during recovery. Learn more.
X-Ray Technology
X-ray technology lets our engineers diagnose a failing drive precisely, finding hidden irregularities and critical damage without putting the device at risk. We use it to confirm suspected component failure, extend what we can recover and validate our ball grid array(BGA) rework. No other data recovery lab has this technology in-house.
