RAID Data Recovery

We can recover failed RAID arrays; our technicians have all of the necessary tools & training to do the work in-house without outsourcing. Whether it's standard MDADM Linux RAID(common in cheap NAS units), or using proprietary enterprise RAID controllers, our technicians do it all!

What is RAID?

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) uses multiple disks to allow faster performance, or the ability of some drives to stop working without loss of data.

Common RAID Configurations:

  • RAID 0: Provides high performance with no redundancy. The failure of any single disk leads to complete data loss.
  • RAID 1: Mirrors data across disks, offering redundancy. Recovery typically involves replacing the failed disk and rebuilding the array.
  • RAID 5: Balances performance and redundancy with distributed parity. Recovery can be complex, particularly with multiple disk failures.
  • RAID 6: Similar to RAID 5 but allows for two disk failures with an additional parity block.
  • RAID 10: Combines RAID 0 and RAID 1 benefits, offering both high performance and redundancy.

  • Free estimate: We are confident in our ability to recover your data. Our estimates are performed in-house, on-site, at no charge.

Common RAID Failures and Recovery Scenarios

RAID arrays can fail for many different reasons, from hardware malfunctions to software corruption. Common issues we recover are:

  • Disk Failures: Whether due to mechanical issues or bad sectors, we can rebuild and recover data from failed disks.
  • Controller Failures: We recover data from arrays affected by RAID controller failures or corruption.
  • RAID Rebuild Failures: Failed rebuilds can lead to data loss; our experts can safely recover data without risking additional loss.
  • Accidental Deletion and Formatting: Our team can recover data even if files have been accidentally deleted or the RAID array has been formatted.

What sets us apart:

  • Understanding RAID Configurations

    RAID systems come in different configurations such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10, each with its unique structure and failure points. We've encountered all of these RAID setups and understand the nuances of each. This familiarity allows them to quickly diagnose issues and implement effective recovery strategies.

  • In-depth Analysis and Diagnosis

    With years of hands-on experience, our technicians can accurately diagnose the root cause of a RAID failure, whether it's due to mechanical failure, logical corruption, or a combination of both. This contrasts with less experienced technicians who might misdiagnose the problem, leading to ineffective recovery attempts.

  • Handling Complex Failures

    As often seen on forum discussions, RAID failures can involve multiple disk failures or corruption during rebuilds. Our technicians know how to navigate these challenges, employing advanced techniques to recover data even when it seems like it's impossible.

Advanced Technology: AceLAB PC3000

  • State-of-the-Art Tools

    The AceLAB PC3000 is a cutting-edge toolset designed for data recovery professionals. It allows our technicians to interact directly with the firmware of hard drives, bypassing damaged areas and accessing data that would be otherwise unreachable with standard tools. Our technicians have read the book back and forth (literally) on these tools, including flying to Czech Republic regularly for intense training sessions with the experts at AceLAB.

  • Precision and Control

    The PC3000 provides unparalleled control over the recovery process, enabling precise adjustments to handle drives with delicate conditions. This precision is important to avoid further data loss, which can occur if recovery attempts are made with tools that are not up to the job.

  • Comprehensive Recovery Capabilities

    With the PC3000, our technicians can perform operations such as head swaps and platter extraction in a controlled environment, significantly increasing the chances of successful recovery from physically damaged drives.

Our Rates?

Giving a price without seeing the RAID array, assessing its condition is impossible. Everyone feels better having some basic idea of what things may cost, so for a basic idea, see below. Do realize the + means price can go up! Please do note that drives that have been opened before are rarely if ever recoverable by us: mention this prior to sending it in as we rarely work on pre-worked on drives.

Love From Our Customers

Hear from our satisfied customers who trust us for their data recovery needs in Austin. We didn't become the top rated repair shop on Google maps by accident - this was a 15 year effort of providing best-in-class service, with no gimmicks. 

5 star ratingI wasn't able to retrieve files off an external hard drive and the first estimate was $350 to $2500 (they said it had to go back to the manufacturer). Rossman was referred baby a friend and I was able to retrieve all my information. It was pricey (not $2,500!!) but worth it. I was very happy with the service.

5 star ratingI cannot say enough good things about Rossman Repair Group. Amazing value for the money, outstanding customer service, quick turnaround. If you have a broken Macbook, this is the place to go. A friend spilled water on their Macbook and it wouldn't power on. A local shop quoted them $3500 (!!!) just to attempt to recover the data. So my friend reached out to me and asked if there was anything I could do. I did some homework and found out that this particular Macbook (as with many Macs) had its SSD soldered to the board. So data recovery would indeed be a challenge. But $3500? Ridiculous. After I determined that I could not perform the repair or recovery myself, I came across Rossman Repair Group. While they are in Texas, their mail-in service is clearly a big part of their business, and the estimate for data recovery was literally 90% less than what the local shop wanted - $350 plus shipping. Their online service for setting up the repair and mailing it in was top notch - they have clearly been doing this for a long time. Communication was outstanding, with a tech reaching out every step of the way and clearly describing what was possible, how much it would cost, and how long it would take. Even their terms of service are written in Plain English and not Inscrutable Legalese! $370 later, I got my friend's data back, in a little over a week from the time I mailed the computer out. That price included the data extraction, the portable drive to hold the recovered data, and return shipping.

I've been a fan of Louis Rossman for years. Finally I had a hard drive issue and sent it out to them. They quoted me one price and it ended being less than expected. They repaired the data and recovered it to another drive!!! The customer service was straight forward and no beating around the bush. The helped me get what i need done.

Went their two weeks ago to get a hard drive upgraded because I had some difficulty upgrading the hard drive to my Macbook Pro 2015 myself because some of the screws were stuck and stripped, I asked a previous local Mac repair shop around the same area how much they would charge to put the hard drive in for me they quoted me $150. While Rossmann Group did it for free. Please if anyone gets a free service from Rossmann Group please tip generously because it isn't cheap running a business in Manhattan.

What can I say? These guys are the best at what they do. I brought in a 2019 Macbook Pro that suffered from an entire beer bottle spill. At the end of all the repairs, a month later of getting it back, it kept panicking and shutting off with high cpu usage tasks. They then refunded me the repair costs since it was not able to be saved. I ended up also selling it to them for parts and now happy with my Lenovo. My two friends who I also referred are super happy with their services as well. They are also just finished a hard drive recovery and transferred the data to a new hard drive for me. Top notch service and fairness. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. The Apple Genius wanted twice the price and 10 weeks to fix my Macbook Pro. Rossman received it on a Thursday, repaired and shipped it back out next day. I happily paid a nominal expediting fee for a quick turn. It arrived back to me very well packaged, clean as a whistle, and working flawlessly. EXCELLENT!
