RAID 1 Data Recovery Services

RAID 1 is a mirroring storage configuration that duplicates data across two or more drives and provides fault tolerance. This means that if one drive fails, there will be an exact copy remaining on the other.

Despite its redundancy, RAID 1 is not immune to data loss. If both drives fail simultaneously, it's best to get professional RAID data recovery. Contact Disk Doctors as soon as possible for our RAID 1 array recovery services to improve the chances of successfully recovering the lost data.

Although RAID 1 provides data redundancy, it can still be vulnerable to data loss, whether it's drive failure or human error. One of the most common issues for data loss is when both mirrored drives fail simultaneously, which causes the entire RAID 1 array to become inaccessible.

You may find drives that are the same age, make and model fail around the same time as they have similar wear and tear. The RAID controller may also malfunction which could render the entire array unreadable. A firmware bug or improper update can also corrupt RAID configurations, as can sudden power outages, which can damage the controller's ability to recognise the RAID array. It's important to remember that if you accidentally delete files, they'll be simultaneously removed from both disks as RAID 1 mirrors data across all drives.

It couldn't be easier to get RAID 1 data recovery with the RAID 1 array recovery services from Disk Doctors. You can use our simple online form to submit a case for RAID recovery and we'll provide you with a free consultation, recovery quote and shipping label. We have decades of experience with data recovery in the UK and utilise our specialist tools and knowledge to recover data from RAID 1 failure.

After sending your crashed data storage to us, our team will act quickly to provide you with a no-obligation free evaluation and firm recovery quote. In many cases, we can recover data from RAID 1 failure in as little as 24 to 48 hours.

Along with RAID 1 data recovery, we also offer various other services, including Mac recovery and laptop recovery.

While RAID 1 offers mirrored data protection, it's still vulnerable to anything from multiple drive failures to accidental deletion and controller issues. It's advisable to get professional RAID data recovery to give you the best chance of recovering your data. We can provide you with a customised recovery approach to fully analyse the issue and apply the best-suited recovery methods. We have decades of experience and are some of the best RAID 1 recovery experts in the UK. Contact us for fast and efficient RAID recovery in London.

What Should I Do If My RAID 1 Fails?

If your RAID 1 fails, you shouldn't rebuild the RAID as it could overwrite recoverable data. Don't try to format or initialise the drive either, as this makes it harder to recover data and could cause the data to be permanently lost. Contact us as soon as possible for professional RAID data recovery to give us the best chance of recovering your data.

How Much Does RAID 1 Data Recovery Cost?

The cost to fix a corrupted RAID 1 array depends on the complexity of the issue and how much data you need recovered. We offer quotes for our and RAID 1 array recovery services once we have assessed the issue.

How Can I Prevent Data Loss in RAID 1?

It's important to regularly back up your data on external hard drives, as RAID 1 protects against hardware failure but not deletion or corruption. You can use a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to prevent corruption from sudden power losses and monitor the health of your drive to detect drive failures as soon as possible. If they do fail, it's best to replace failed drives immediately to minimise the losing data in the future.

If one RAID 1 drive fails, can I still access my data?

Yes. If only one drive fails, the system can continue operating using the remaining mirrored drive. However, the array will be in a degraded state, so if there's another failure, it could result in complete loss of data.

Disk Doctors guarantees protection of your data throughout the data recovery process, from evaluation to handing data back to the client.

1. Disk Doctor Employees are selected through a rigorous process of selection and follow our strict rules and procedures for handling the client data.
2. Client media is cloned sector by sector onto our own lab media and all the data recovery work is carried out on the cloned media not the original media; this ensures that client’s storage media is always intact.
3. Upon successful recovery Disk Doctors by default keeps a copy of the data for 7days before it gets deleted automatically from our Lab Server. This helps in providing the copy of data again if some thing goes wrong during the transfer of data to client e.g. the data media gets damage or goes missing during the postal process.
4. Our agreement to recover the data includes the clause for protection and non disclosure of data as per legal rules and regulations. If you require separate agreement for data protection and non disclosure, we are happy to sign the agreement.
