What to Do If Your RAID Array FailsA RAID array failure can arrive without warning, and the decisions made in the first twenty-four hours after discovery are frequently what determine whether data is recoverable or permanently gone. RAID is often misunderstood as complete protection against data loss, but it is not. It is a redundancy mechanism with specific failure modes, and once certain thresholds are crossed, redundancy alone is not enough. Knowing what to do, and critically what to avoid, when... more »

I was very happy with the service and professionalism I encountered when dealing with your company. The options available, the quick turnaround & correspondence updating me with the progress of my call were all above my expectations and I have already recommended your service to colleagues.

While I hope I don�t need such help in the future � any HDD issues I can�t fix will be coming your way.

You service was good � obviously an efficient e-mail run system is in place. One criticism though I took the trouble to point out the specific area where the PST files needing recovery were to be found but this was ignored and the wrong files recovered. it was only when I insisted that they were where I said they were that you did indeed find and recover them. As you pointed out at the start we had used another recovery company first who had failed to restore the files we wanted and on further inquiry insisted it was not possible to do so � so hats of to Disk Doctor. We will use you again if we need to.
Regards

I was hugely happy with the work you managed to save from my hard drive. I have lost quite a few photos but that is NOTHING when I consider you got all of my work files back to me safely - that is truely the MOST important thing.
I found Shakeel very helpful and lovely And I was so pleased you adjusted the price. I was desperate from my information to be found but I had little chance of paying the first quoted fee.
I thank you and would highlyu recommend your service to anyone else.
All the best
Hetty
