RAID Data Recovery in Glendale

In addition to standard hard drives, we also offer full-service RAID data recovery. If your RAID array has failed due to multiple disk errors, corrupted volumes, or a bad controller, we can help rebuild and extract the data.

 

Our RAID recovery process involves:

  • Cloning each individual disk
  • Rebuilding the array from safe copies
  • Using proprietary tools to restore volumes and important files
  • Handling RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and hybrid setupser from secure clones.

Clean Room Environment for Safe Recovery

When a drive has internal issues—like a stuck head or scratched platter—it must be opened in a dust-free clean room environment to avoid further damage. Our certified cleanroom lab in Glendale is equipped with the necessary tools to safely open and repair drives without risking data loss.

If your flash drive or HDD has physical damage, don’t attempt to open it yourself. Our recovery process uses safe, tested methods designed to preserve every byte.


The Recovery Process: Safe, Secure, and Proven

We use a structured, step-by-step recovery process to ensure the highest success rate while keeping your important files safe:

  1. Free Evaluation – We inspect your device to determine the issue.
  2. Imaging – We clone the full storage device to prevent further wear.
  3. Analysis – We examine the image to detect recoverable data.
  4. Extraction – Files are rebuilt and organized for easy delivery.
  5. Verification – We let you preview the data before final delivery.

This approach ensures your data is safe even if your original drive continues to degrade.

 

 

Common Data Loss Scenarios We Handle

Data loss can happen for many reasons, often when you least expect it. Some of the most frequent causes we see include:

  • Electrical surges that damage drive controllers
  • Power loss during write operations
  • Dropping or bumping a drive while in use
  • Water or liquid exposure
  • Corrupt partitions or accidental formatting
  • Sudden system crashes that lead to unreadable drives

No matter the cause, we have the tools and techniques to identify the failure and restore your files quickly and securely. Every situation is different, which is why we tailor our recovery strategy to your specific case.
