We recover data from following operating system: Windows NT Windows XP Windows 2000 Windows 2003 Novell LINUX IBM AIX, HP UX Sun Solaris UNIX ( all Flavors) Macintosh

We service different manufacturers like: Adaptec Bus Logic HP PERC Promise Software RAIDS Sun AMI Compaq Mylex Pinnacle Raidtec Storage Dimensions 3ware

And different types of raid servers and setups: Adaptec Bus Logic HP PERC Promise Software RAIDS Sun AMI Compaq Mylex Pinnacle Raidtec Storage Dimensions 3ware

Example of RAID 5 multiple drives.

Raid Failures Situation:
Mostly, the causes for failure of RAID arrays is mainly due to the reasons mentioned below; and in many cases human error has worsened the situation further. We have seen that "let me try myself" feeling from the customer or regular computer technicians has actually aggravated the failure, which resulted in irrecoverable loss of critical data.

• RAID Controller failure
• Raid configuration lost
• Accidental reconfiguration and initialization of RAID array
• Multiple drives failure
• Raid partition missing
• Partition was formatted
• Virus Damage

Prices:
It is hard to know the failure of the drives physically completing a FREE evaluation. There are no two recoveries that are the same, therefore we have to complete diagnostic and evaluation price to giving a fixed firm price for the recovery. All we can provide is that Raid Recovery starts at $1199. We also provide emergency, expedited and express services.

Turn Around:
Here, at ABKData Recovery, we put all of our resources to recover your valuable data as fast as we physically can. Each and every raid failure is different , therefore it is difficult to determine recovery cost and time until we receive the Raid array or a server in our lab and start evaluation process. Our evaluation process is completely FREE. Once we receive the drives in we will start evaluation process the same day. Evaluation and diagnostic process takes 2 to 8 hours,. Depending on number of drives in Array. Usual turn around time for Raid recovery is 2 to 7 business days, some cases may take longer. We also offer emergency recovery service at additional cost.

RAID Technology:

RAID is implemented by using multiple hard-disks along with a RAID controller. The technology that is used for RAID drives data recovery is mirroring or copying and saving the original hard-disk or the content of that disk for implementing reliability in the system by fault tolerance technique. In mirroring, redundancy of data is achieved using parity check. As we all know that mirroring simply means looking at the image of yours or in other words having an exact copy. Data mirroring use in RAID is exactly the same in which same data is copied on two different drives.

A question arises “what is the need to have same data on two different drives?” The answer is to achieve a system which can tolerate any kinds of faults or any unexpected dangers. This copying of data helps in fault tolerance in a way that if the system crashes abruptly or there is a system failure or a person is unable to reach to the data on a particular drive than there is this mirrored or copied disk which behaves like a helping hand. In case of a crash RAID controller automatically rebuilds and restore the data of the crashed system. There are different types of RAID data recovery setup or we can say that there are different levels of RAID namely RAID 0,RAID1,RAID 1+0,RAID 3,RAID 4,RAID 5,adaptive RAID and RAID 6,the technology used in all these types may vary but the basic concept of data copying remains same. And because this setup is so sophisticated it takes enormous amount of knowledge and time to retrieve data from RAID 5 failure.
