RAID & Server Data Recovery
Servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems are the backbone and beating heart of any business. When these systems go down, it’s not just a technical glitch—it means complete business disruption, customer service paralysis, and compounding financial losses with every passing minute.
If you’re an IT manager or business owner facing a sudden server crash or RAID array collapse, Datacodex understands the immense pressure on your shoulders. You’re not alone. A server going down doesn’t necessarily mean your accounting databases or employee files are gone. As the most advanced data recovery lab in Saudi Arabia, we have the engineering capabilities to perform reverse analysis on complex server arrays and rescue your company’s data as quickly as possible.
Common Server and RAID Failures
- Multiple disk failure in RAID 5/6: The array can tolerate 1-2 disk failures. When another disk dies during a rebuild, the entire array collapses.
- RAID controller failure: The hardware or software RAID controller crashes, losing the array’s configuration (stripe size, parity order, disk sequence).
- Accidental reconfiguration: An IT administrator accidentally reinitializes the array or changes the RAID level, overwriting the original metadata.
- Firmware/OS corruption on NAS devices: Synology, QNAP, and similar NAS units experience operating system corruption, preventing access to the storage volumes.
Our Recovery Process
- Emergency corporate response: We prioritize business-critical cases and provide dedicated communication channels for IT teams.
- Individual disk imaging: Each drive in the array is imaged independently using PC-3000, bypassing bad sectors and extracting maximum data.
- Virtual RAID assembly: Using advanced software, we reconstruct the RAID array virtually by determining the correct stripe size, parity distribution, disk order, and offset—even when the original controller is destroyed.
- File system repair: We rebuild the file system (NTFS, EXT4, XFS) and extract your databases, virtual machines, and files with their original structure intact.
- Verification and secure delivery: All recovered data is verified for integrity and delivered on new storage media.
💡 No Data, No Charge Policy: If we cannot recover your critical business data, you pay nothing.
RAID Levels We Handle
| RAID Level | Description | Recovery Complexity |
|---|---|---|
| RAID 0 | Striping only (no redundancy) | 🔴 High — any single disk failure = total collapse |
| RAID 1 | Mirroring | 🟢 Low — data exists on multiple disks |
| RAID 5 | Striping + single parity | 🟡 Medium — fails if 2+ disks die simultaneously |
| RAID 6 | Striping + double parity | 🟡 Medium — tolerates 2 disk failures |
| RAID 10 | Mirrored stripes | 🟡 Medium — depends on which disks fail |
