Start Now!Fair pricing for RAID data recovery
We understand that high costs can be a barrier when recovering the valuable data on your RAID. At $300 Data Recovery, our mission is to provide top-notch services at an affordable price. Many companies charge a premium for RAID data recovery, assuming that RAID users can afford higher fees. We believe in fair pricing for everyone, regardless of their RAID setup.
No extra fees for RAID rebuilding
We offer the same flat fee pricing for RAID data recovery as we do with single-device recoveries. $300, $500, or $700 per drive. Other companies charge an additional fee just because you have a RAID.
Cleanroom (ISO Class 5) RAID recovery
In many RAID recovery cases, cleanroom repairs aren’t needed due to the RAID’s “parity” data (e.g., RAID-1, RAID-5, RAID-6, etc.). If a head or platter swap is necessary, we can often use one of the good drives from the RAID as a “donor drive” to save you the cost of purchasing one. And, we do not charge an extra fee for performing head swaps or platter swaps.
We do not need your RAID controller, server bays, or RAID enclosure to recover your data! We just need the bare drives.
Attempting to repair a RAID within its original enclosure is extremely dangerous and often leads to data loss. Since we have the expertise required to rebuild any RAID array by hand, all we need from you is the bare hard drives from your RAID. By analyzing each hard drive on a sector-level, we can determine your RAID’s parameters (like disk order, stripe size, RAID type, etc.) and virtually rebuild your RAID — even if you don’t know what kind of RAID you have.
We have successfully recovered data from practically all RAID types, including:
- RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID-4, RAID-5, RAID-6, RAID-50, RAID-60, RAID-10, JBOD / Spanned
- Areca
- HP/Dell
- Drobo
- QNAP
- FreeNAS
- Apple Fusion Drive
We can recover data from all partition formats, like HFS+ (Mac), FAT32/NTFS (PC), XFS/EXT3/EXT4/ReiserFS (Linux), and Virtual File Systems (VMFS) along with all hard drive interfaces (like SATA, IDE/ATA, SCSI, and SAS).
Drobo Data Recovery
We offer two options for Drobo devices due to their proprietary RAID configuration:
Option 1 (this is the cheaper option, but you may pay our “single-drive” recovery fee and not get back your data):
- Assuming the problem with your Drobo is a bad drive (marked on Drobo with a “red” or “yellow” LED indicator), you can give us just the bad drive, and we’ll clone it to a new SATA drive that you provide or buy from us.
- If we can successfully clone 99.9-100% of the sectors, then our fee is due. You will then take the clone, put it back in your Drobo, and hope the Drobo mounts (or it’s able to repair itself and then mount, or it’s a good enough clone that Drobo technical support can rebuild the RAID).
- If we recover less than 99.9% of the sectors, it’s your choice to pay for our partial clone or decline the recovery and pay a $100 labor fee.
- If we can’t recover any of the sectors (or less than 90%), there is no charge.
- There are no refunds after you receive the cloned drive, even if the Drobo doesn’t mount, isn’t able to repair itself, or Drobo technical support cannot fix it.
Option 2 (this is the more expensive option, but less risky, and you’ll only pay our full rate if we get back data you want):
- You give us the entire Drobo unit with all the hard drives. We will clone each drive before attempting any rebuild or manual repair, which is much safer than rebuilding with the original hard drives because Drobo’s automatic repair/rebuild could end up making things worse.
- If we can get back data you want, the cost would be [the total number of drives in Drobo] x [the rate for the capacity of your drives]. So if you have a 5-drive Drobo with 1TB drives inside, the cost would be $1,500 (5 x $300).
- If we get back data you do not want, we charge $100 labor, per drive.
- If we can’t recover any data, there is no charge for our attempt.
