CERTIFIED AND SECURE RAID DATA RECOVERY SERVICES.

Realtime Support Data Recovery provides round-the-clock RAID 10 data recovery services, which is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0. This setup involves mirroring from RAID 1 and striping from RAID 0, offering superior performance but also requiring double the number of disks compared to other RAID configurations, with a minimum of four. It is particularly well-suited for heavily utilized database servers or servers handling numerous write operations. While RAID 10 can be implemented through hardware or software, it is widely agreed that software-based RAID 10 may compromise some of its performance benefits.

Pros: In the event of a disk failure in a RAID 10 setup, the reconstruction process is rapid due to the need to simply duplicate all data from the remaining mirror onto a replacement drive. This operation can be completed in as little as 30 minutes for 1Tb drives.

Cons: Fifty percent of the storage capacity is allocated to mirroring, making it a costly method for achieving redundancy compared to larger RAID 5 or RAID 6 arrays. In the event of a data loss disaster, we are capable of efficiently and rapidly restoring your crucial data regardless of the cause.

Common RAID 10 Failures

Physical RAID Server Failure

If the components of your RAID 10 Server experience physical failure, you may find yourself unable to access your crucial daily files. This encompasses potential failures such as the RAID 10 controller, RAM, power supply, motherboard, or backplane. No matter the cause of the server failure, our skilled RAID engineers are capable of retrieving your data.

Logical Failure of RAID 10 Server System

When the operating system, such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Novell, Unix, or VMware, becomes corrupted due to a virus attack, improper shutdown from a power surge or failure, an update error, or user mistake, it may fail to boot and display issues like blue screens or boot loops. In such cases, your data becomes inaccessible and you should consult one of our RAID engineers for guidance on the next steps.

User Error

If your RAID 10 server experiences accidental data deletion, corruption, or formatting, there is a high likelihood that we can successfully retrieve all of your files. In the event of user error, it is crucial to cease usage and power off the server, as any further actions significantly diminish the possibility of achieving a complete recovery.

Physical Hard Drive Failure of RAID 10 Hard Drives

If the mechanical components of the hard drives in your RAID 10 server fail, it results in physical hard drive failure. Typically, this kind of mechanical breakdown necessitates clean room procedures for successful data retrieval. When a member drive in your RAID 10 encounters mechanical failure, it is essential to engage professional data recovery services to retrieve your vital files. Our team of engineers possesses the expertise, tools, and facilities to fix your RAID 10 member hard drive and promptly recover your files within our class 100 clean room environment.

What to do when your RAID fails.

  • Do not run any chkdsk options like FSCK, or CHKDSK. These utilities can corrupt or destroy your file system.
  • Do not try to rebuild the RAID array. Doing so can wipe out data needed to recover the data you are seeking.
  • Do not remove several failed drives at once hoping to reinitialize the array.
  • Do not lose the correct order of the drives in the array.
  • Do not try to repair any damaged drives yourself.

Before shipping out the drives, make sure to label them in the right sequence to save time when reconstructing the array virtually. Determine the type of RAID array, server specifications, filesystem, and operating system in use. If feasible, identify the faulty drives and pinpoint which one failed most recently.

**Important** We need all original disks that were in the array the last time it was operating normally.

Despite the fact that many data recovery companies do not provide a free diagnostic for RAID recoveries due to the extensive time required, we offer a fixed-rate fee for our RAID data recovery services. Our specialist will gather information from you over the phone to provide an estimate of the expected outcome. While our fixed-rate fee covers most RAID recoveries, the actual cost may vary depending on specific circumstances. Our pricing structure is highly competitive and we encourage you to contact us before attempting any DIY repairs that could potentially cause further damage to your RAID system.

What You Can Expect during your RAID Data Recovery Process:

  • You will be assigned a personal service representative for your project who will guide you through the process.
  • The data recovery process can take 7 to 10 business days based on many factors, see below.
  • The assigned service representative will be in daily communication with the data recovery technician working on your case and keep you up-to-date with the recovery progress.

How Long Does RAID Recovery Take?

Most customers inquire about the recovery duration as one of their initial questions. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this query, as each case varies. While some arrays can be reconstructed within a day or two, several factors may influence the overall data recovery timeline.

Hardware Condition – A fully operational drive allows for much faster data recovery compared to a severely damaged drive requiring repair. Cases involving accidental deletion, formatting, viruses, and similar issues are typically resolved within 24 to 48 hours, although there may be exceptions. Hardware recovery cases usually require 7 to 10 days, but this timeframe can be extended depending on various factors.

Drive / RAID Array Size – Despite being fully operational, a 4Tb drive can require up to 20 hours to complete a single scan, and multiple scans may be necessary for a thorough recovery of all files. As part of our professional data recovery process, we always create a clone of the drive first to minimize the risk of any mishaps when handling the data. Generally, it is advisable to allocate an additional day for drives exceeding 500Gb in size or several days for those surpassing 2Tb. Furthermore, substantial time may be needed for very large arrays.

Number of Failed Drives – In striped RAID configurations, the time it takes to recover can be impacted by the number of failed drives. If there are multiple failures, a thorough analysis of all drives is necessary to identify which hard drive(s) went offline first, ensuring that the accurate data is utilized for the reconstruction process.

Availability of Donor Parts – When dealing with drives that have hardware problems, it is often necessary to obtain parts in order to restore the drive to a semi-functional state where the data can be extracted successfully. While some sub-models of hard drives are readily available and easy to find parts for through our vendors, others are not as common. In some cases, we may need to dedicate weeks to searching online and contacting other data recovery facilities in order to locate the specific drive or parts we require. Alternatively, we may need to purchase a donor drive from abroad and wait for it to be delivered. Typically, this phase represents the longest part of the entire process for hardware-level recoveries.

Functionality of Drive After Repair – Several brands of hard drives do not react well to the introduction of replacement parts, resulting in decreased performance following internal repairs. Since hard drives record magnetic data at a microscopic level, even minor variations in the manufacturing of parts can lead to the drive constantly re-reading data. Although uncommon, certain drives may require a month or longer to retrieve all the data after undergoing such internal repairs.

Pricing for RAID Data Recovery?

The pricing for our RAID data recovery service is determined by several factors, including the number of drives in your RAID array, drive capacity, drive type, type of failure, file and system type. While our RAID recovery falls under a standard fee structure, the final cost may vary depending on specific circumstances. Nonetheless, we are proud to offer competitive prices that are unmatched in the industry. In fact, we are committed to matching or beating any competitor’s price for RAID data recovery with our lowest price guarantee.

How Do I Get My Data Back After Recovery?

After the recovery process is finished, feel free to bring your own storage device for the retrieved data. In the case of RAID arrays, a high-capacity external hard drive is usually recommended. Alternatively, you can buy a new external hard drive from us at a competitive price and we will transfer the data onto it for you. If dealing with very large arrays holding substantial amounts of data, special arrangements may be needed to transfer the data onto a NAS or similar device with RAID capabilities. If you need recovery from such an array, please get in touch with us for further information.
